Thank you to Netgalley as well as Flatiron Books for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed Elektra, until about the halfway mark. Things started to feel a bit dragged on, and I remain somewhat confused by the title character being Elektra. She plays a small role in the majority of the book, until about the halfway mark onwards. Instead, her mother plays a larger role. And the third oracle perspective felt unnecessary at best.

This was, by no means, an unenjoyable book. It was simply a historical book that leaned too heavily on political setup than anything else. Ariadne pulled me in emotionally, whereas Elektra made me feel indifferent to its characters. I still enjoyed learning about these characters and their stories, and the turn of events was interesting, but not enough to make this a five-star review for me.
