Ariadne is perfect for fans of The Silence of the Girls! Ariadne explores the sad fates that befall mortal women time and time again when they have the misfortune of catching the eye of a God. I enjoyed the addition of Phaedra's point-of-view as I knew little of the mythology surrounding her. If Ariadne is the cautionary tale for what happens when gods get involved, Phaedra is the sadder story of what it meant to be a woman who was forever subjected to the whims of men.

Like Circe and other mythology retellings I have read, it is a slower read and takes time to become invested but the story was no less enjoyable for the slower pacing.

Barrie Kreinik is a wonderful narrator for this book!

Thanks so much to Netgalley and the publisher for the audio-arc!
