Clytemnestra's Bind by Susan C. Wilson
3.0
challenging emotional sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This was a hard book to read, not because of it's writing, but because this is the story of Clytemnestra, the Mycenaean Queen. A daughter, a sister, but most of all, a mother. A woman who suffered the worst losses a mother has, by the hands of her husband, her tormentor and the King. 
The author managed to express her hurt, her emotions and made me feel her frustration and her pain.
I recommend it for those who loved The Song of Aquiles by Madeline Miller.

Thank you to Netgalley for this ARC in exchange of an honest review.
