I loved this book! and it makes you hate men even more than you already do which is <3

Even in those times and the present time, it shows the struggles and reality of women being punished due to men's mistakes.

I enjoyed this book so much more than I thought I would. It's such an amazing retelling even though I was heartbroken by the end of it.

Ariadne was a really interesting story. As a whole it was great. However, the writing just didn't do it for me. It couldn't hold my attention and reading it felt like a chore. Really disappointed because I thought it would be so much better. I love Greek mythology but this one just didn't cut it for me.
