![]() There was a lot of character development in all of the predominant characters in this novel, but not all of, or even most of, those changes were good. At least, that’s who she is in the first half of the book. Here is a different kind of strong female character, and I very much respected her mind and her ability to make a life for herself out of a situation she would have changed if given the chance. However, I found her strength as a character far overshadowed, at least in the first half of the novel, by that of her sister, Phedré. ![]() Her responses and reactions were realistic for a girl her age, but I kept wanting to shake her. While it was a very well written mythological retelling, I couldn’t quite love it.Īriadne as a character drove me crazy. It felt like viewing a work of art through a fog instead of clear glass. However, there was some magic imbued into Miller’s work, some fierce beauty behind the pain, that wasn’t present in this novel. It will definitely appeal to the same audience that loved Madeline Miller’s Circe. ![]() Jennifer Saint penned a lovely, if depressing, novel in Ariadne. ![]()
