corabookworm 's review for:

Clytemnestra by Costanza Casati
2.5
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Not horrible but very clearly the author's debut. I didn't vibe with the writing style or most of the characters and the constant chapter breaks made the story feel choppy. It did, however, have potential, and if Casati publishes again, I'll definitely give her next book a chance. The execution of this one just wasn't for me.
