This one hovered between 3 and 4 Goodreads stars because while I liked it, I didn't LIKE it like it.  In the end, I wasn't super-wowed by it, and I kind of though that Circe was going well out of her way to be a pain in the neck.  

Familiar stories re-imagined from another point of view are particular favorites of mine because they underscore the point that what one person thinks/remembers/understands is not at all what another person perceives.  But, I enjoyed visiting ancient Greece with Circe.  Her status as a goddess allowed her access to many places and people in a very non-Bullfinch's Mythology way.
