4.5
Only reason it’s not a 5 is just the fact that it’s a little too slow paced for me.
This book was really good, especially if you have some background knowledge of Greek myths. The background knowledge is not required to enjoy the book, however it makes each character feel like an Easter egg. This book included so much and had definitely inspired me to read Ariadne next.
