Ariadne

Holly says: Another novel featuring a fresh perspective on a classic myth, Saint’s novel explores the tale of Ariadne, Theseus, and the Minotaur. Growing up on Crete, Ariadne lives the life of a princess until she is promised in marriage to a rough man she does not love. When Theseus comes to Crete alongside the annual tributes given to the Minotaur, Ariadne sees an opportunity to escape. The author has since written additional retellings about famous Greek heroines, which I’ve added to my TBR.
