Greek myth wise, interesting, never would have connected these myths. Story wise. Really really boring. Dragged on, bo clue what characters were, who I should believe/trust and what was really real. What was the night court?? Singing ladies?? How did the final murder change from

murder by human to murder by sea bull?

Whilst an interesting exploration of Phaedra, I felt that the characterisation was lacking. However overall, I enjoyed the co-opting of myth and centering female narratives. It was interesting to see the overlap of fact and fiction, myth and truth. Not as good as some of the other Greek mythology retellings.
