• All Ariadne was a well rounded out book and great to read. 
• Closer to the middle of Ariadne you get POV of her sister Phaedra. One thin I would have liked is if Jennifer Saint would have either delved further in Phaedras POV or have just left it as Ariadnes POV and make a second novel for her younger sister. As I would love to hear Jennifer Saints storytelling when it comes to Phaedra.
