I love this trend of Greek mythology first person retellings - and this one was what I was expecting and hoping for. I didn't know as much about Ariadne (outside of the labyrinth/minotaur) as I did other Greek figures, but I enjoyed exploring this character in depth. The pacing of the story as a whole was a little off, especially because the most familiar things happen earlier in her life, but I did like that we got to see those later events and some of the tangents related to other mythology characters. I don't know if the theming was consistent throughout, and I wouldn't call it "feminist," but overall I enjoyed this.
