Good story but I feel like the titular character honestly didn't have much to do with her own story, especially since the more interesting aspects were with Cassandra and Clydemnestra.

This retelling does not shy away from the dark and brutal cycle of war and violence throughout Homer’s epics. Very well written, and the varying perspectives deepen the narrative and themes.
