Beautiful, Beautiful, beautiful!
Such a great story of young women wanting to live and experience more. This was such a great read. I love Greek myology, and Jennifer made me feel like I was on the Island with Ariadne.
I struggled with this one. I really wanted to love it since I'm so in love with Greek mythology and specially Ariadne's story (and Dionysus happens to be my favorite god). However, it was kind of hard to get through at times, it was very slow in some parts, and Phaedra was frustrating me.
This book is an interesting change of perspective in the myth of the Labyrinth. I really enjoyed looking at this classic Greek Myth from the perspectives of the women involved. The life of the book’s name sake is quite tragic but there are enough twist and turns to keep you guessing, and hoping that things will pan out some how for our leading ladies. I really enjoyed this feminine re-telling.
