Elektra by Jennifer Saint
4.0

After really enjoying Ariadne by Jennifer Saint, I was very excited to start Elektra. I’m not a Greek mythology buff, so I greatly enjoy reading these books because I’m not familiar with the stories and don’t know what I’m getting into. Elektra surprised me in a good way - it’s more of a novel of the House of Atreus instead of just Elektra’s story. There are three POVs: Clytemnestra, wife of Agamemnon. Cassandra, Princess and prophet in Troy who prophesies about Agamemnon’s armies, and Elektra, daughter of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon’s youngest daughter. This was so well done on audio with a different narrator for each point of view. I loved reliving the Helen of Troy story and learning more of the Greek mythology around the House of Atreus. This was really entertaining, and I couldn’t put it down at the end! I highly recommend listening to this if you are into audiobooks.

Thanks to Flatiron book for the ARC and Macmillan Audio for the copy of this ALC!
