The only reason this isn't a complete 5 out of 5 stars is that the middle part, about her time on Naxos, reminds me so much of Circe (which is my absolutely favourite book in the world) and felt too similar, but of course not the fault of the author, because that is the nature of the story. The writing style was wonderful and also the POV of Phaedra was unteresting, since I didn't know her story

The pacing is slow but steady, enough to keep the reader’s engaged but calm while the tense parts of the myth are spread out.
The ending of “Ariadne” was not one that I was familiar with but suited this interpretation nicely.
