Finally some redemption!! Even if you don’t know the story of Clytemnestra a quick google search will pretty much tell you one common theme. That she is a villain and a terrible wife. She is often compared to her cousin Penelope as good/loyal vs bad/adulterous wife. What makes this book so awesome is that it highlights the injustices Clytemnestra faces and gives a background to her revenge story. There are still many different accounts of her story, but throughout them all she is wrong and weak because she is female. Clytemnestra grows up as a Spartan where women are allowed to do many things men are (especially train for fighting), but this is not true for the rest of Greece. She is strong, fierce and independent. She deals with so much heartbreak and treachery and throughout it all she puts on a mask to cover her pain. But a person can only handle so much before they break and Clytemnestra is definitely pushed over the edge. This was an amazing story with ups, downs , action and redemption. I was on the edge of my seat and couldn’t put it down. There is a lot of descriptive gore so just beware. I loved the family tree and glossary. I referenced both multiple times when reading to keep everything straight. Beautiful cover for an amazing story. I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.
