Another really good retelling of Greek mythology. I gobble those up like there‘s no tomorrow ngl
I really appreciate the trend on focusing on a female perspective. Also you know a book is good, when you know the story but are still curious how this author is gonna tell it. I still liked A thousand ships better, it hit me harder emotionally.
Fun story: even as a kid I didn’t understand what Elektras problem was and thought that Agamemnon had it comin‘… can you tell that I was raised by a single mother lol
