General - Only very brief descriptions here and there. It follows the Greek mythology of Ariadne if that helps.

This story was heavily inspired by Circe and it shows. And I feel like the timeline of their release dates seem to line up in a way that makes me think Saint read Circe and said "I wish I wrote this book" and then wrote an extremely similar book.
It was obvious, in some parts that it was a debut, where it got wordy for no reason and became boring to read.
I wish there was more resolve in the ending, but it did surprise me that Saint really /went for it/ in the ending. This book felt safe and boring until that point, and it was like the author finally started to find her voice. Like she just kept the rest for character development and called it a day.
Overall, though, this was a short read, and I thought it was pretty decent.
