• some may call Clytemnestra "morally ambiguous"; this book has made me find her moral compass to align with her circumstance and era
• we love a strong female character
• characters other than Clytemnestra felt developed for the amount of time in the book they were given
• brain too smol to completely understand the political conflicts
• The dynamic between Clytemnestra and Helen was endearing
• I appreciate how vengeful and unforgiving Clytemnestra is
• many intense topics throughout the book
I think I would have enjoyed this book more if I had more historical context. there were a lot of references to Greek mythology and politics that I was not familiar with. due to this, it was somewhat difficult to follow the story.

There was nothing new in this book, nothing we didn't know already.Â
My hopes were crashed.
I was also disappointed that in a 467-page long book, there wasn't room for her death.Â
And another thing... The use of greek words, is not always right. Endings are wrong, words that do not make sense... There are even latin words. Come on people, do some proper research, will you?Â
