A review by literaryjunarin
Helen of Sparta by Amalia Carosella

Did not finish book. Stopped at 39%.
DNF because I'm biased. I read Clytemnestra before this so when she was depicted here as an attention-seeking flirt, I couldn't handle it. Leda was pictured as an evil, scheming mother as well. Then Theseus, who was a capital a-hole in the book Ariadne, is such a fine gentleman in this story. Reading different retellings is so interesting but when details clash like this, I'm just left discombobulated.
