Amazing story telling. This book felt similar to the way Madeleine Miller’s Circe story was told and I loved it. The story of Clytemnestra is devastating and full of violence and heartbreak but through all that she endures, she never breaks. I loved the relationship she shares with her siblings and even her children. She is a queen to be reckoned with and one that demands respect. Very refreshing and easy to follow. Great book overall. Trigger warning that there are themes of violence, sexual assault and abuse. Please take care reading.
