So I got through this very long exercise, but it never grabbed me at all. I couldn't work up much sympathy for our namesake protagonist. The Greek gods are narcissistic and cruel but anyone with even casual knowledge of the classics would know that. Homer comes off as more complex, so that was interesting. But I am with others who say this doesn't hang together as a novel, it's more a series of stories about Circe's life on her banishment island and those who come to visit her.
