I always like to read greek mythology book to remember the stories and see them from different povs. Here we got the pov of Clytemnestra, Elektra and Cassandra.
I have to admit that I do not understand why the book is called Elektra when it had 3 women describing their experiences before, during and after the the Trojan War, besides she is the one I liked the least from the 3 women…
Helen can go to the deepest hell by the way 😭 (at least the one in this book) next to her brother in law Agamemnon!
This book was basically telling the story we already know but from the pov of these 3 characters, but sadly there was nothing new, fantastic, original, or really entertaining.
I almost DNF this after Part 1 to be honest, but I kept going just because it’s Greek Mythology. And I mean, it was okay?? So 2 ⭐ in my opinion.

- Child death / Murder: Agamemnon kills his oldest daughter before the war starts.
- War / Slavery / Death: There’s descriptions of what’s going on in the Trojan War.
- Rape / Sexual assault / Sexual violence: Because this is ALWAYS present in Greek mythology…
