This was a good interesting read, though I don't think it rises to the level of the author's previous novel, Ariadne. I would give it 4.5 stars if I could, but I can't quite give it 5 stars.

I knew the story, but not from the perspective of the women. That's the main strength of the novel. There's even a hinted coded message that the world should not grant power to insecure men.

There's a lot to like about this novel. Still, the first two thirds of the book seemed more focused solely on the action, and only the in the last third of the book, did the author do a deep dive into evocative reflection. I'm curious to know if anyone else felt the same way while reading it.

Also, while I'm being completely subjective, I hope that we were encouraged to see Elektra as the flawed character that she was. I couldn't sympathize with her and found her to be the most selfish of all the characters. Perhaps that's exactly how the author intended us to see her. It is Greek tragedy, after all, but I do wonder.
