I enjoyed this book, especially the second half. Though, personally, I found it to be a little slow and it ended pretty abruptly considering the pace of the book. I also feel like the author wanted to incorporate a bit too many stories at once, and I think I would've loved this book even more if it was more limited to Ariadne's own struggle. But other than that, I definitively recommend it to anyone who is interested in a female perspective of greek myths. Although filled with darkness and grimness, the story is very beatiful and touching.
