Circe by Madeline Miller

Circe was the Greek Goddess of sorcery.  She's often called the first witch, skilled in magic, potions, and herbs.  She is probably best well known for her interactions with Odysseus.  This novel devotes a full-length book to her background and life story.

This has fabulous reviews.  So I hate to say I didn't like it.

It moved waaaaayyyyy too slow.  After 20 pages of Circe's genealogy (the Titans versus Olympians and who sleeps with who and is related to who etc.) I was flat out bored.  I mired through to page 77 and gave up.  I just didn't care. 

Unfortunately, this is a no from me.
