Very good. Love the angle taken here, giving all sides of the story. clytemnestra endures such pain, her husband killing her daughter for a fair wind, but then inflicts further pain on her remaining children in revenge. Multiple points of view that are each flawed, as humans tend to be. A human, woman centered telling of an ancient story told about the men. Cassandra was also an interesting character, and i loved that her perspective was included. such a tragic character. Well written! Easy to zip through!
