The ending was very anticlimactic and it felt rushed. I don’t feel like loose ends were tied up well.

As someone whom enjoys Greek mythology and feels like they know quite a bit about it, Phaedra’s story was not one I’m familiar with. It was fun to read a tale that I didn’t know the outcome of and the way the author wove many of the Greek myths related to the story of Phaedra and Hippolytus into her novel was impressive and entertaining.
