As for Ransom, I think this is one of the most successful retellings of the Achilles myth and I’ve read or abandoned many, most recently the very cheesy and disappointing Song of Achilles.

I disagree with you about Lemony Snicket, but completely of one mind regarding the really terrible Song of Achilles. It's great that I read Circe at all, as I was toying with the decision to read Achilles first.
