She’s not obviously likeable, which was refreshing. Clystemnestra is full of rage for much of the book, and spends much of the time plotting revenge. I loved how sure of herself she was, even if I didn’t always like her actions. A very strong character.
Overall slow paced with large time jumps, but an enjoyable read.

She is powerful, delightfully complex and relentlessly lives by her moral compass. It is a wonder to behold such a woman at the center of a story. Usually, women are eclipsed by men, always in the shadows - but Clytemnestra shines and burns too brightly to ever be in the shadows.

Everyone thank one of my bookstagram besties for convincing me to move it up and read it sooner rather than later teehee
If there’s one thing I love, it’s Greek Mythology retellings. Percy Jackson, The Song of Achilles, and Circe are all amazing ones that I love so much. This makes me want to read more of them so leave your recommendations in the comments …
I went into this only knowing a little about Clytemnestra, however there was a family tree included and a list of characters in the beginning so that helped! I loved seeing new sides to different prominent people in Greek Mythology like Helen of Troy and Odysseus.
Clytemnestra’s life may have been riddled with grief and other trials that were testing her character, however, she persevered and ultimately she was a Queen… of Mycenae and just a Queen.
Costanza Casati, I love your writing and your book, I truly enjoyed your imagery and how you made the characters come to life. I truly loved Clytemnestra and her story.
