Electra

The Delphic Women, Book 3

By: Kerry Greenwood

Narrated by: Deryn Edwards, Simon Mattacks, Lucy Scott

Princess of Mycenae, daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, sister of the sacrificed Iphigenia and the cursed Orestes.

Electra is forced to flee her home after witnessing the shocking revenge-murder of her father, by her mother, on his return from the Trojan War.

Life beyond the palace is frightening, and the scandalous behaviour of her foreign companions disturbs her, but she needs the help of the Trojan Cassandra, and her two lovers, to survive.

Driven by her own desire for vengeance, Electra's life becomes one of adventure, peril, pleasure, tragedy and love.

all the rules Greek women lived but

the horrors Elektra lived through no person should be forced to go through anything like that

Good

I liked the first two books more, but it was still an enjoyable book to read. The characters were more tedious in this one and I didn't find the story of Odysseus really tied in much.
