Ariadne

I did not enjoy reading this book. It suffered from the same issues as Heavenly Tyrant. We spend way too much time in the main character's head. The book is almost all prosy descriptions of the internal struggle Ariadne experiences throughout her life. And she repeats the same things over and over again. Theseus is a savior, Theseus is a jerk, Dionysus is a savior, Dionysus is a jerk, my sister is self-absorbed, the Minotaur suffers, I suffer. Over and over again. This book is touted as a feminist retelling of the half-sister of the Minotaur and her relationship with Theseus and Dionysus. To me there wasn't much feminism. I felt like she never had a self-actualizing moment and she always needed to have a man save her.
