I honestly didn't catch much of the audiobook—I started it during a flight, and found myself dozing off. But the parts I did catch didn't inspire much confidence that I would end up enjoying the book. This mostly had to do with the way Ariadne comes across as a character. One scene that stuck out to me was her conversation with Daedalus, where she was asking him for help to rescue Theseus. He said that people had died before and she didn't save them then, did she want to save them now just for one boy? And her answer was yes.

Sounds like a case of naïve instalove to me, so I've decided to put it down.
