Overall Thoughts:
⁕ Saint didn’t push past the boundaries of the original myth of Theseus and the Minotaur until about halfway through. As someone familiar with the story, I was unmotivated to read until that point.
⁕ I never felt overly attached to or intrigued by Ariadne. She very much felt like a victim of circumstance as opposed to a heroine in charge of her own destiny. Her relationship with her sister was the only aspect of the novel that added complexity and depth to her storyline.
⁕ If you enjoy Madeline Miller’s Circe, this book is very similar in terms of prose and themes.
