Gods, I felt like I would never finish this book, yet by some miracle I finally made it. And I must say that, despite everything, it did not leave a deep impression on me, not really. This was my first buddy read with one of my dear friends, Jason, and I truly enjoyed every minutes of it. 

Clytemnestra is still one of my favourite female characters in mythology, everything in her (that endless pain and rage) makes her stand out. Somehow, this time, I was comforted by the ending that she got

even though she was killed, she had gone to the afterlife in peace.

Elektra, they say like father like daughter, and somehow it was, I can't imagine how deeply she loved him and what she really had to feel when she was separated from him, but I know things  for sure; she was too blind and terribly naïve, who didn't know the real world. Elektra loved her siblings (Orestes for sure), but never as much as she did love, and never as faithfully as she did her father. For me, Orestes was a lovable and very brave little boy who did what he had to do (but at what cost?). Cassandra, my dear Cassandra, I will never stop talkinh about you. I'll tell your story to everyone, I will listen to you and understand you, even if no one else does. 

The plot wasn't new — maybe I just read it for the third or fourth time — so it was predictable, perhaps a bit boring, but that's just my fault. I've always loved when mythology is told from a women's perspective, and it was no different here. The pace was maybe very slow at the beginning and very fast at the end, but I'm not complaining. The wording, apart from a few nice sentences, was not so special. Time jumps were not distracting, I liked that the author divided important plot points into parts. The ending felt a bit clashed and perhaps that's why it didn't leave a deep impression on me.
