![]() ![]() The art style is in a colorful cartoony style perfectly matching the television shows they are based on. However, the stories also delve in the current cartoon and comic book with jokes and characters from the Teen Titans. Add in the cartoon campiness of the 1970s and early 1980s Super Friends cartoon and this is a winning combination. So, when I picked up this book and saw that it retains the fun and charm of the late 1960s and early 1970s television shows and cartoons I was delighted.

A woman who is Too Much is a woman who reacts to the world with ardent intensity is a woman familiar to lashes of shame and disapproval, from within as well as without. On rare occasions, we might revel in our excess-belting out anthems with our friends over karaoke, perhaps-but in the company of less sympathetic souls, our uncertainty always returns.

Lacing cultural criticism, Victorian literature, and storytelling together, "TOO MUCH spills over: with intellect, with sparkling prose, and with the brainy arguments of Vorona Cote, who posits that women are all, in some way or another, still susceptible to being called too much."

Phaedra, meanwhile, is reluctantly married off to Theseus in a political maneuver of her brother’s. The island is the home of Dionysus, god of wine and pleasure, and he takes Ariadne as his wife. Ariadne hoped they would bring her sister, Phaedra, with them, but fickle Theseus breaks his promise, leaving Phaedra behind and abandoning Ariadne on the island of Naxos. When Theseus, prince of Athens, is sent as part of that city’s annual sacrifice to the Minotaur, a smitten Ariadne helps him defeat the monster and they flee Crete together. Her punishment, to fall into obsessive love with a bull, resulted in the Minotaur, Ariadne’s half-human, half-bull brother. She has also witnessed their wrath, unfairly brought down upon Pasiphae by Poseidon, the sea god, because of Minos’s transgressions against him. Ariadne’s life has always been touched by the gods, as her mother, Pasiphae, is the daughter of Helios, god of the sun. Saint’s enchanting debut retells the myth of the minotaur through the eyes of Ariadne, daughter of King Minos of Crete.
