It's a Greek tragedy, of family curses and blood spilled.

3.5

Ich habe mich nie viel mit griechischer Mythologie beschäftigt, aber aktuell zieht es mich immer wieder dazu. 

Nach Song of Achilles war es spannend den Trojanischen Krieg aus einer ganz anderen Perspektive zu sehen. 
Anfangs war ich etwas verwirrt, da wir das meiste aus Klytemnästras und Kassandras Perspektive gesehen haben, obwohl das Buch nach Elektra benannt ist.
Aber es hat sich alles zusammen gefunden und die äußeren Einflüsse für das Handeln der einzelnen erklärt. 

Alles in allem ein gutes Buch, doch, außer Kassandra, war mir keiner der Hauptcharaktere besonders sympathisch.
