This is the epitome of female powerlessness, female sacrifice, female hate, misogynie and thus resulting in female rage.
I've felt that rage, reading about Ariadne and Phaedra's decisions. I wanted to yell at the top of my lungs when I heard them making stupid decisions after stupid decisions for men. I prepared myself for the certainly upcoming deceptions that would follow their blind trust in the wrong people.
I've felt that sorrow at how they were treated, how motherhood is not a magical experience for all and how it's wielded as a shield to protect a perfect perfect little life.
And I wanted to cry at their death, the ultimate sacrifice they made. For men. Again. Their love is beyond measure, and their pain is infinite.
I did not know how to rate that book. I wanted to give it 0, because it's made be bitter and angry and why was it so unfair -
But... mythology is as it is: unfair.
Men before gods are powerless. And Gods are but petty children playing with toys. I've felt such a vast array of emotions, I cannot not give it 4/5. The book will haunt me for a long time.
