i don't have the energy for writing a review that is coherent and express correctly how i feel.

So here's the main points:
- Beautiful writing omg
- Themes from the myths excuted perfectly in my humble opinion
- Heartbreaking in the best way? Love how the author explore the theme of womanhood throughout her retellings, i've read Ariadne and Elektra so far.
- The voices of Phaedra and Ariadne were so distinct, both characters very fleshed out (i'm not sure how to use this expression lmao)
- Loved how other myths and stories were mixed in
- I knew very little of Dionysus and the little i knew scared the shit out of me but i somehow couldn't remember the facts that caused that fear in me? well lmao i'm caught up now i guess

ok i loved it bye!
