aseel_reads's review against another edition
dark
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I enjoyed the first 40% of the book, found the next 30% okay to read, and the last 30% was just a slog to get through, by the last hour, I wanted it over so badly. I am usually a clytemnestra girly, but I found Electra's pov really compelling. Honestly, it's probably Orestes who was super boring to read and the ghost elements weren't as engaging as they could have been
