Jennifer Saint's writing is so unique and interesting, I loved this feminist retelling, and despite it obviously a difficult task to tell a tale of a woman from Ancient Greece positively or in a way that doesn't end in despair, I really enjoyed this different perspective. I'd say the tale of the Minotaur is one of the most well known from Ancient Greece but this made it feel new - very excited to read Elektra!
