I really love Jennifer Salt's retellings, after falling in love with Ariadne I was super excited for Elektra. It was a good book, not a great book. It lacked something for me, it fell flat of the sparkle of Ariadne and perhaps just over repetitive of each woman's desire.

Cassandra's story line felt so squashed in, Elektra's so one dimensional but Clytemnestra's did evoke emotion, I felt conflicted with her, she felt tangible and alive. Overall, I did enjoy but I don't think I will reread it quickly, or maybe at all.
