Ariadne by Jennifer Saint
Did not finish book.
DNF at 18%
A shame because I really do love a Greek retelling but this should not be compared to Madeline Miller - ever. It’s very flowery, which is normally fine but it detracts from the pace of what should be a pretty exciting story. Ariadne is also about as interesting as a wall and I struggled to like her. All the characters are pretty flat which is bizarre given that there’s a rich history there.
There’s nothing wrong with this book but there’s also nothing great about it. I just got so. Bored.
