ok, i get the hype around the trojan war. i liked cassandra and clytemnestra’s stories enough, and i hope my intense disdain and annoyance for elektra was intended by the author. this book brings an alternate perspective outside the battlefield and into the stories of these women who are often cast aside and even blamed for tragedies that are often caused by men. kind of wished there was more intertwining of cassandra’s story with the atreus women, but I’m also glad to be away from elektra and her bs LOL
