I think you'd like Circe. It was enjoyable and well written, with good characters. I enjoyed reading Ariadne as well. I think books like that are different from some of the other books I've read before. I love The Firebrand and always will, but MZB went into it with the same persistence as she did the Mists of Avalon and really leaned heavily on the Man=BAD trope (... I mean, she's not exactly wrong, but ...) I liked how Ariadne was written, it really made me feel more connected towards the protagonist rather than want to smack her every so often like I wanted to do with Kassandra.
I'll definitely give it a go. I really liked how it was blatantly made clear that it was society/the gods' tendencies at fault, and that Dionysus could empathise with that due to his mother.
