Ariadne by Jennifer Saint
2.0

I honestly have no idea why this book had to be written. I didn't feel like I learned anything I didn't know about the myth, and the insight into Ariadne and her sister's heads just made it... worse. If you're going to do a retelling and pretty much stick to one of the canons of the myth, you're not going to write anything particularly revolutionary.

It felt very YA romance gone wrong. I expected this to portray Ariadne as someone who was truly horrified by the sacrifice to the Minotaur, but instead she starts off as a horny teenager with very little regard for other people unless they're pretty.
