Ariadne was a myth that i was vaguely familiar with before I began reading. It did take me a little while to truly get into the book, but once I did I was enthralled by it. The way that Saint writes is beautifully done and condones her message well. The dual POVs between Ariadne and her sister added to the story and to the endings of both of theirs. The myth being told in this perspective changes the way that it's seen and the end to their story. I thought that it was very well written while staying true to the multiple versions of the mythology surrounding it. It stayed true to the time period and the myths while also giving it a more modern context.
