Ariadne

I really love when an author writes in the more detached way that myths and fairy tales are written in, so I knew Ariadne was going to be a good selection for me. I don???t know anything about the relevant myths so it was great to discover them for this first time in this way.

I liked Ariadne immediately and it wasn???t hard to feel invested in her story. Her story takes off quickly as the first few chapters progress. On the other hand her sister was less interesting to me except where you get the comparison between their lives. I thought that was a bit of a weakness because I was dying the whole time to get back to Ariadne???s chapters.

One thing I would have liked more of is character development. I think if the story had focused more on each sister individually and developed them further it would have blown me away.

I thought this was a good myth retelling, and I???m interested to follow Jennifer Saint???s next book and see where she takes it.
