I expected so much more from this, considering how many people seem to love it. The idea of Circe is great. But it’s written so boringly that I didn’t feel anything at any point over these roughly 400 pages.
I can appreciate the feminist concept behind the book. What I can’t wrap my head around is how unengaging it turned out to be. It’s surprising how many people made it through this snoozefest of a story—one that could’ve been told in a far more exciting way.
