I feel like it’s hard to write a myth retelling without it being super predictable and cliche and unfortunately Ariadne wasn’t an exception.
Still a fun read and worth the time.

It was pretty slow at times but I did really enjoy it. Lots of self-reflection and story-telling but thats what you get with greek mythology.

The plot was based on the myth, so I have no critique there, but I agree with other reviews that the pacing was all over the place.
I still enjoyed the authors writing style, so that was ultimately what kept me reading. (I will also give this author another chance, since I enjoyed the writing so much.)

I absolutely adored the writing style; it was so beautiful and lyrical.
I also loved how Ariadne & Phaedra were described and how their stories were told.
