2。5/5 ✨This is a tough book to rate。 That’s mostly due to the fact that it follows 3 characters and 2/3 of those storylines were a big miss for me。 Clytemnestra hands down had the best story and was written so wonderfully。 I could absolutely FEEL her grief and rage and I loved reading her sections。 However， Cassandra fell flat from being seemingly completely disconnected from the rest of the story。 And then let’s not mention how I absolutely loathed Elektra。 One， why was this book named after he 2。5/5 ✨This is a tough book to rate。 That’s mostly due to the fact that it follows 3 characters and 2/3 of those storylines were a big miss for me。 Clytemnestra hands down had the best story and was written so wonderfully。 I could absolutely FEEL her grief and rage and I loved reading her sections。 However， Cassandra fell flat from being seemingly completely disconnected from the rest of the story。 And then let’s not mention how I absolutely loathed Elektra。 One， why was this book named after her？ She’s so insignificant to any part of this story and is an absolute horrible piece to read。 Her obsession with Agamemnon is pure insanity and I found myself furious that she couldn’t see any part of her mother’s perspective。Overall， I’m never going to say no to a Greek Mythology retelling or reimagining and so for that， I enjoyed this and I did learn a lot！ But otherwise， not a great book。 。。。more

This is， by no means， a greek myth *retelling*。 It's just a "telling"。 The author just literally plain-wrote the original myths， but with her own words。 There's no particular insight nor Jennifer Saint's point of view of the story， there's nothing new brought to the table。Elektra tells the story of Clytemnestra （Agamemnon's wife）， Elektra （Agamemnon's daughter） and Cassandra （princess of Troy）， and it's set before and after the events of the Trojan War。The good part is that it's short and easy t This is， by no means， a greek myth *retelling*。 It's just a "telling"。 The author just literally plain-wrote the original myths， but with her own words。 There's no particular insight nor Jennifer Saint's point of view of the story， there's nothing new brought to the table。Elektra tells the story of Clytemnestra （Agamemnon's wife）， Elektra （Agamemnon's daughter） and Cassandra （princess of Troy）， and it's set before and after the events of the Trojan War。The good part is that it's short and easy to read。 It's only 328 pages， I could easily finish it in 3 days。 it's not the kind of greek mythology book that makes you feel lost or confused among many characters， since the author always explains who is related to who in the plot。 But that's where the "good" ends。There's so many things I didn't like that I don't even know how to start。 First， Elektra's lack of character development。 Elektra is obsessed with her father， but the author never contextualizes WHY。 She was just a young kid when Agamemnon left for the Trojan War， she barely remembers him， so WHY is she so crazily obsessed with him？ Nobody around her gives a fuck about Agamemnon， so her devotion and obsession don't make sense。 Also， Elektra's POV doesn't match her age。 She sounds much older than she really is in the first chapters， which was really weird and off-putting。Then， Cassandra's lack of character development。 I mean， the woman had VISIONS of the future， but they're rarely shown along the story。 We only see a few of them and they're always confusing。 Everytime Cassandra showed up， it was only to say how much she suffered， how miserable she was as a person， how "out of place" she felt in her own family。 Her only plot was to suffer， suffer and suffer。 We never see any meaningful connection between her and other characters， like a close friend or family member， or even a particular rival or something like that。 Clytemnestra is the only one who's well developed， but she's boring and bitter。 It seems to me that when her favorite daughter died， she forgot that she had two other kids and a third one coming the way。 She spends 10 years being an absent mother， who gives zero fucks for Elektra， Chrysothemis and Orestes， and only cares for her revenge。 She prioritizes her mistress OVER her own children， which made me despise her even more。 And it took 10 years and ONE PERSON having to tell her that her lover could be a treat to her kids， for her to realize it。And it got even worse when I found out that the original myths lacked the same elements as the book， which means the author really did a "copy + paste" but using her own words。 That said， even though it was good to know more about greek myths I hadn't known previously， I do not recommend it for all the reasons mentioned above。 。。。more

I really liked reading the point of view of these three characters。 Like most reviewers， not sure why it is named after just one of them。 We hear the story of Achilles， Odysseus， all the men so many times， but it is fresh to read the same timeline from the point of view of females of the time。While I found Elektra （the character） interesting， I didn’t like her at all。 The book could have been called “Women of the Trojan War” or something instead。

A good greek mythology re-telling and similar to the other ones I've read。 The writing is not too personal and not too much detail is given for day to day things， and time can move very quickly - in that way I found it similar to Circe。 I think it should have been titled Clytemnestra instead， since to me she was the main focus。 Elektra was actually my least favourite of the three leads but I'm guessing the author did this on purpose。 Cassandra's chapters were my favourite and think a book of her A good greek mythology re-telling and similar to the other ones I've read。 The writing is not too personal and not too much detail is given for day to day things， and time can move very quickly - in that way I found it similar to Circe。 I think it should have been titled Clytemnestra instead， since to me she was the main focus。 Elektra was actually my least favourite of the three leads but I'm guessing the author did this on purpose。 Cassandra's chapters were my favourite and think a book of her life would have been very interesting to read as well。 Read if you're a fan of the Iliad/the Trojan War and want a new perspective， or if you hate Agamemnon。 。。。more

3。5 stars So despite the title， Elektra doesn’t focus on just Elektra。 The story is told through three POVs- Elektra， Clymnestra， and Cassandra。 Both Clymnestra and Cassandra’s POVs were exactly what I wanted。 They shaped these two tragic figures into real flawed women with lives independent of the men around them。 But I found Elektra’s POV to be the least compelling of the three。 Her character is primarily defined by her obsession with her father and otherwise is pretty one dimensional。 For a f 3。5 stars So despite the title， Elektra doesn’t focus on just Elektra。 The story is told through three POVs- Elektra， Clymnestra， and Cassandra。 Both Clymnestra and Cassandra’s POVs were exactly what I wanted。 They shaped these two tragic figures into real flawed women with lives independent of the men around them。 But I found Elektra’s POV to be the least compelling of the three。 Her character is primarily defined by her obsession with her father and otherwise is pretty one dimensional。 For a feminist retelling of Greek mythology， I was pretty disappointed in Elektra。 Overall， it was a good read but I would lower your expectations to enjoy it best。 。。。more

A story about the cycle of revenge and how it can curse generations。 I really liked that it was written in the 3 POVs of Clytemnestra， Cassandra， and Elektra。 It brings you on a full journey that spans years and comes full circle into an ending of closure， but also the tragedy that comes with seemingly righteous revenge。

“The shriek of agony in our souls， which could only be soothed by one thing。 Revenge。”“Through the blood smeared on her cheeks and the dirt and dust that cling to mine， we see into the calm center of each other’s souls。”In Elektra， Jennifer Saint tells the parallel stories of Clytemnestra， her daughter Elektra， and Cassandra of Troy。 Each of the women is tied together by the curse of the house of Atreus， and their stories are intertwined with each other while they themselves are at the mercy of “The shriek of agony in our souls， which could only be soothed by one thing。 Revenge。”“Through the blood smeared on her cheeks and the dirt and dust that cling to mine， we see into the calm center of each other’s souls。”In Elektra， Jennifer Saint tells the parallel stories of Clytemnestra， her daughter Elektra， and Cassandra of Troy。 Each of the women is tied together by the curse of the house of Atreus， and their stories are intertwined with each other while they themselves are at the mercy of the men in their lives。Jennifer Saint’s writing breathes life to these characters that have been mostly footnotes in the stories of men。 Clytemnestra becomes a sympathetic character， choosing to rebuild what was shattered by her husband， where in previous literature she has been painted as an adultress and murderer。 Her relationship with Aegisthus and murder of Agamemnon are justified by motherly rage and heartbreak。 Cassandra， previously portrayed as the tragic madwoman cursed by Apollo， becomes resolute。 She understands that her visions will come true， regardless of her desperate attempts to save her city and her family。 Her death is a mercy given by Clytemnestra， a release from her torment。 Elektra is haunted by her mother’s betrayals， a small child when Clytemnestra returned from Aulis。 She is desperate to do right by her father and honor her family’s legacy。 What connects these women， these mythical characters， is their passion for what they believe。 Jennifer Saint took these women and gave them back their voices。 Elektra is a wonderful addition to the growing genre of mythical retellings。 I recommend it for fans of Madeline Miller’s Circe， Vaishnavi Patel’s Kaikeyi， and anyone wanting to learn more about these characters and perhaps to see them in a different light。 。。。more
