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.
