“I had fallen for tales woven in the moonlight before and knew better than to trust a man’s account of himself.”

This book is the story of Ariadne, without whom Theseus could not have slayed the Minotaur and escaped from the labyrinth, and her sister Phaedra. The minotaur is just the beginning of their story, though.
I love a good retelling of a Greek myth, and this one is great. It took me a while to get into it (in part because I couldn't remember if Ariadne = Arachne, and thus doomed to become a spider - spoiler alert, they are NOT the same, and Ariadne does not become a spider), but by the end, I was fully enamored. It is wonderfully refreshing to have fully realized female characters from Greek mythology who exist to do more than support the stories of the male heroes and gods.
I received a free ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this book a lot!
Si ya conoces el mito de Ariadna esta historia no te va a pillar por sorpresa pero aún así te va a hacer sentir todas las emociones, sentimientos y miedos de su protagonista. Las mujeres en la mitología griega siempre salen mal paradas y Ariadna no es la excepción, aún así es un personaje al que se le coge cariño a través de toda la novela aunque yo he llegado a empatizar más con su hermana (tal vez porque no recordaba o no conocía su historia).
El libro está muy bien escrito y no resulta pesado ni lento a pesar del género. Es la historia del mito tal cual o al menos tal cual la recordaba pero la autora ha sabido mantenerme enganchada lo que es de agradecer cuando te encuentras ante una historia conocida.
Si os gustan los libros de mitología, sin duda tenéis que leer este.
