I really enjoyed this book, though laced with so many tragedies! I liked the strong characterizations of Ariadne and Phaedra.
I see other reviews complaining that it didn’t take more Liberties. I like that it was “accurate” and the depth was from changing the POV and adding emotional depth.
This book just also still ‘felt’ like a debut, if that made sense? Like it could’ve been polished a little more.
