A Greek mythology retelling of the Trojan War from the perspective of Klytemnestra and her sister, Helen. It was unique reading about the Trojan war from their perspective and their motivations/reactions to certain events.
I felt particularly sympathetic towards Klytemnestra after Agamemnon sacrificed their daughter under the guise of a wedding to Achilles.
