Ariadne is such a
familiar name but I must admit that since Theseus wasn’t my favourite hero tale
to begin with, I hadn’t given much thought to her story.
All I can say is wow!
I devoured this book. It was so easy to read and yet so brilliant at the same
time because I really felt her injustice. It begins with the familiar tale of Theseus
defeating the Minotaur with Ariadne’s help. After promising her the world Theseus
abandons her on an island. Her sense of doom at her own loneliness and
mortality was really poignant, and then when Dionysus finds her I rejoiced.
Jennifer Saint took me on a rollercoaster of emotions with this book. I felt
like Ariadne was such a good and relatable character and really came alive in
the hands of a very good author. Poor emotional
little me was not prepared for the ending!
I absolutely adored
this book and can’t wait to read more from this author! Definitely a five star
read for me.
