Priya Sharma

Beautifully re-telling of the Greek myth of the minotaur, told through a re-telling of the myth, which varies slightly, and sfnally, from the myth.

A deftly-handled story of a powerful young woman who has enemies, and has to spot the assassin in her midst.

Nicely told (none of the clunkiness I noted in Sharma’s previous Albedo One story) but even for someone who doesn’t read much fantasy, the story felt similar to many I’d read in the past.

Courtly intrigue in medieval Albion, with a touch of alternate history.
