Elektra by Jennifer Saint

3.5

I have mixed feelings for this one. I've read Clytemnestra by Costanza Casati before so I went in already knowing this story. I was excited to read this one because I wanted more of Elektra's side of things and while I got that, I was more interested in Cassandra's chapters than anyone else. I knew of Cassandra but didn't know her story, so it was a nice change of pace for this book. Elektra, on the other hand, was such a weird character for me and I had a hard time really feeling sorry for her. Mostly she just annoyed me. I feel like this book should have been named after Agamemnom, since he was the constant thread for these three women, but I also know that title probably wouldn't have been favorable.
