i really enjoyed this. Clytemnestra's storyline and perspective was by far the best in my opinion. Elektra's storyline, while connecting the characters and giving us a new perspective, was a little lackluster at times. if not for that i would have enjoyed this even more.

If you love Greek Mythology, especially about the Trojan War, you will love this one. However, you may be lost if you have not heard of the Trojan War or the Orestia.
