I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I'm happy to see another book that takes a reviled woman in Greek mythology, gives her agency, and makes her a powerful but sympathetic character. Clytemnestra is one of those figures I'd read about on the periphery of several myths but didn't know much about; reading about her (justified) rage against Agamemnon and her father and the other terrible men in her life fleshed her out more while also aptly demonstrating how revenge can eat away at one over time.

The first half of the book flows well and has strong follow-through; the second half has chunks of time missing and falls apart toward the end, but overall it's a fascinating, well-written read.
