Offering different perspectives of these greek tragedies, Elektra is very well written.

I absolutely adored the complexity of each character, especially exploring how differently one person can be seen by others (e.g. Agamemnon by Elektra and Clytemnestra).

I was captivated by the start. The flow of the book was perfect, not focusing too much on one plot point for too long. The buid up to the climax was great, even though I knew what would happen, a testament to Saiht's writing.

A great read, I just can't put my finger on what didn't make it perfect i.e. 5 stars. However, I can't wait to read what Saint brings out next!

Fairly entertaining but I found this quite boring compared to other books I’ve read recently, it took me about six months to finish compared to a few days to a week for others
