I so wanted to like this book more, as the beginning was fantastic and it captured me. But about 60% through I started to drift, and my attention was waning.

I did however like the intertwining of mythology with Victorian times. That was great spin.

The narrator was fantastic and he brought Minos to life, as well as other characters. But for me, the story lasted too long.
