An amazing debut

This book honestly took me by surprise. I will say that I was not expecting to like the book as much as I did because the beginning of the book did start out a little slow. I was also confused about a certain character which made me not like the book at first. But as the book went on, I couldn’t stop reading. Clytemnestra and all her pain was hard to read about, but I couldn’t help but admire how strong she was the whole book. I also really liked how the book didn’t just focus on Clytemnestra’s vengeance, it also demonstrated how strong family bonds can go. I think the author did a phenomenal job in expressing the different characters emotions because it never felt like a single character was flat. I really appreciated how she portrayed Helen; the author actually made her a real person instead of just a woman that was beautiful. Overall, this book was phenomenal, and for anyone who likes Green mythology, this is the book for you.
