![]() ![]() ![]() The voices were too similar, and while I liked Phaedra’s storyline at first, it quickly did a nose dive. However, the dual POVs did not work for me. The book is mostly from Ariadne’s POV, but also features the point of view of Phaedra, Ariadne’s little sister. For Ariadne, she falls in love with Theseus at first sight, and she devises a plan to help him make it safely through the maze. ![]() Hero Theseus arrives in Crete after offering himself up to be sacrificed in place of a child to go through King Minos’ labyrinth, and face the Minotaur, a half-bull, half-human creature. In Greek mythology, and in this book, Ariadne is the Princess of Crete. Ariadne follows, you guessed it, Ariadne. I almost DNFed this book 50 pages in, but decided to stick with it. ![]() As someone of Greek heritage myself, I find it fascinating that my ancestors wove such intricate, and often brutal, tales about the world around them, and I’ve loved learning about Greek myths ever since my Percy Jackson days and my Latin classes! I love myth retellings, especially Greek myths. It’s disappointing when you don’t end up liking a book you were looking forward to. ![]()
