I was torn between this one and "Clytemnestra" for determining which one I would use my points on. I love retellings, and a genderbent "Three Kingdoms" retelling did seem interesting. Ultimately, I think the fact this is part one of a duology kind of turned me towards "Clytemnestra." I foresee the possibility of deliberate cliffhangers, and I didn't want one for my points.
