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.
