Daughters of Sparta by Claire Heywood
sad
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.0
Maybe it’s because I read Costanza Casati’s “Clytemnestra” last year but this just didn’t measure up.
Mediocre in every way.
The writing didn’t pull me in. The characters were flat & I just couldn’t care about them.
The story still had the dark and rough parts (cause mythology) but the writing & characters did not make it worth it.
Still, I’m glad I read it. I love Greek mythology & this had been on my TBR for years…
