Elektra follows the stories of Clytemnestra, sister of Helen and wife of Agamemnon; Cassandra, Princess of Troy, and cursed by Apollo to see the future but never to be believed when she speaks of it, and Elektra, the youngest daughter of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon.

Greek mythology has always been interesting to me, and I enjoy reading retellings from different perspectives. The classic story that's well known of Cassandra and of Clytemnestra through her sister Helen.
~
The book was enjoyable, but I think I tried reading it at the wrong time, or I could t get into the story very well because I struggled to get through the whole thing.
