This is my first book by this author so I guess I didn’t know what to expect, but this wasn’t it. It’s obvious that the author knows the stories of these women very well and was able to encompass so many events and years in a single book without making it feel like info dump which is impressive, but as someone who knows Greek mythology I didn’t get anything new from reading this. The characters were bland and Elektra, the title character, is the blandest of them all… I wish we had gotten more personal with them and the author had granted them a personality but since I didn’t see it come through it just felt like a text book to me. It was still entertaining though.

This was extremely cute and I truly loved the representation. It’s not often that you find Demi characters in books, especially romcoms, and it not only felt fresh but extremely relevant. The story was fun even if predictable, the chemistry between the characters was amazing and even the secondary characters were fun. I wish we had gotten a little more at the end but everything left up to the reader was set well enough to not feel I’m missing any information.
Definitely a book worth picking once it comes out on May 3rd.

I got this advanced listening copy from @netgalley and @dreamscape_media in exchange for my honest review.
