Ever since I've read Percy Jackson I've had a fascination with Greek mythology. I've also been loving retellings where they focus on the women's point of view. This one was written well and although I'm familiar with this myth it felt new in a lot of aspects. Some parts dragged a bit and normally I would rate it 4 stars. However, the story itself captivated and enchanted me and I just had a great time reading it. Sometimes a great experience is all you need to give it five stars.

I did enjoy parts and pieces to this book. The writing was stunning and there were parts of the book where I couldn’t put it down. The message came through clearly, that women are the playthings (and ultimate victims) of heroes and gods. 

The ending wasn’t as satisfying as I had hoped. This made me realize that most of Greek myth is just bad men being awful.

Ariadne can be slow at points, though that may be because of the different perspectives. Which, while I enjoyed, I personally find it easier to get attached to one character's perspective. In saying that, the pace picks up, especially the last 100 or so pages which were impossible to not turn. Definitely recommended if you enjoy modern takes on mythology!
