I love this book!!! it is a great take on the myth that we all know Thesus and the Minotaur. I love how it plays out what actually might have happened. There is a little romance in there but its not to overwhelming. If you love mythology this is a must read.
This is a very historical book. It takes place on the island of Crete. I liked this book, but at times I felt it was too descriptive.

I thought this book was very interesting. In every chapter you read, you couldn't just stop, you would have to keep going. This book wasn't bad, but I wouldn't read it again.

This book puts you on cliff hangers, for sure. It can get very confusing and boring at times too though. It really taught me a lot about the events of the pass. I had tor read it for english. It could use more description
This book was pretty good. It takes place in Crete, and island in Greece, and is about a princes Xenodice, and hoe she struggles to protect her brother the minotaur.
