Galatea by Madeline Miller
2.0
I am putting this at a two because the story was set up really well, but I feel like the ending fell flat.
The set up is really great. Galatea is in a mental facility because she wasn't behaving the way her creator/husband wants her to behave and she is doing all she can to think of a way to get out.
And then she does get out and the ending is not satisfying. I am glad she gets a little bit of revenge, but I felt like life could have held more for her if she had chosen to run instead of what she chose. I think that I would have liked this more as a full book with a whole adventure thrown in, but as it stands it is not for me.
