The King Must Die by Mary Renault

adventurous challenging tense slow-paced

3.25

I think this was an excellent retelling of Theseus.  Specifically, another side of the story between Theseus and Ariadne, in particular.  It gave me a new perspective of the character by giving an excellent origin story that explains his more known character traits.  I'm so much more sympathetic to this well known Greek mythology character.  I only gave it 3.25 stars because the Crete, Minotaur story was dragged out for so long that I was struggling to get through it.
