Very poetic at points and following the lives of Ariadne and her sister near enough from start to finish this encapsulates so many points of Greek mythology very well.  

For me the gaps inbetween locations that didn’t always connect the best and deaths of characters felt somewhat unfinished made it seem gappy but otherwise a really well written book

I'm sad to say that I didn't enjoy this book.  I love Greek mythology, so I was really looking forward to reading this, but unfortunately, I think this book is really boring.  There are some things that are interesting, but they don't save the overall story from being pretty dull.  There are also quite a few places in the book where the language and the way it's written is so flowery to the point where it feels forced and pretentious.  I really wanted to love this book, which makes it worse because I'm just left feeling disappointed.
