For a feminist retelling focusing on Ariadne she still feels like the side character in her own story. Her story is the most dull one of all the characters and each time she starts narrating what happened to a side character i found myself hoping the focus stayed on them instead of going back to her birthing another child and thinking quietly to herself.
