I'm not well versed in Greek mythology at all and tbh it's not a subject I tend to gravitate towards when it comes to my reading tastes.
This however was excellently done and for the first time I'm super excited to read more about a character in Greek mythology. I knew not a single thing about Clytemnestra when I first started this book, and Susan C. Wilson really made her come alive for me on the page and I was immediately transported into her life and her struggles and continuous heartbreak with her horrible marriage to Agamemnon.
As I've stated, I know nothing about Clytemnestra's story so I'm very invested and interested to see where this series goes and to learn more about her.
I've read a very small amount of Greek mythology and have felt pretty meh towards them for the most part, but Susan C. Wilson has singlehandedly made me interested in reading some more.
I know there are more Clytemnestra retellings out there but I think this is the best one for me to start with, and I highly recommend it. Not only was Clytemnestra's story compelling, but the writing was lush and moving.
This was a very hard book to put down and I'm eagerly anticipating the second book!
