Well written and interesting but ultimately didn't love as much as I wanted to. The stories of the two sisters were woven together well and compelling as strong stories of the struggles women face. I think the ending felt odd and perhaps a bit forced to fit into the original myth. I also wasn't super familiar with the original stories that featured Ariadne and her sister and there is a lot of heartbreak involved. Overall a well written and interesting redo of an original myth and would recommend for anyone who has an interest in that.
Graphic: Suicide
Minor: Rape
