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 liked ariadne, although i felt like i liked her mostly because of how everybody interacted with her rather than because of her as a person
• phaedra was very interesting to follow too
• very morally grey characters -- you root for them because they deserve better but then they do awful things and you can't justify your support
• i enjoy learning the in depth versions of greek mythology, especially because we only ever learn the basics where the women were the problem, or where theseus was a great hero
• overall, it was a decent story but i felt detached from it quite a lot of the time
