Elektra by Jennifer Saint
4.0
Beautiful and Heartbreaking
Greek tragedy at it’s best. Wow! This book was so beautifully written. Saint perfectly weaves the perspective of three iconic female characters from Greek mythology in a stunning tale of revenge, heartache and the impact of war so often overlooked when told from a male perspective.
If you love retellings of Greek myths then this book is right up there with The Song of Achilles and Circe by Madeline Miller as well as Mythos, Heroes and Troy by Stephen Fry. You will not regret reading this book. Loved it!
