Notes: As sometimes happens with me, I was traveling recently without my Kindle and I finished reading the book I had on hand. So, I popped into a used-book store to find something else, and I came across this novel and this author, both of which are unfamiliar to me. However, I like to try authors new to me, so I'll give this one from 1979 a chance.
Mini review: Set during ancient Greece, a noble Athenian girl is taken to Crete as something of a political prisoner to take part in a holy rite known as the Dance. For the most part, this novel has some courtly intrigue as well as that of the gods. The first half of this one I found to be quite a slog, but I felt the story finally got going with the second half and ended well but abruptly. Readers who enjoy fantasy set in the ancient world might like this story, as well as those who have interests in mythology.
