I love the first part without reservation; I find the second part the least interesting because it is a fairly straight retelling of the Aeneid; I find the third part more interesting than the second, because it is again outside the scope of Vergil's poem, but not as strange or as numinous as the first. I'm not sorry that she went the whole way through the story, but the aspects of it that work best are those that are least familiar to me. For people who have not studied the Aeneid, however, I accept that this might not be a problem at all.
