A retelling of Greek mythology regarding the myth of the Atreides, Iphigenia, and Troy, seen through the eyes of three women with key roles: Electra, Clytemnestra, Cassandra. A work that is intensely psychological, excellently crafted with deep character exploration, using the technique and dynamic of narration from the perspective of each of the three women manages to give depth, interpretations, and substance!
With a reservation about the singularity of the title, overall an exceptionally noteworthy and interesting work.

Jennifer Saint's Electra is a powerful and dark novel that brings the myth of the Atreides to life again through three female voices: Clytemnestra, Cassandra, and Electra. Through these narratives, the story gains depth and emotional weight. Clytemnestra is presented not just as the vengeful wife, but as a woman struggling with unbearable pain and betrayal, while Cassandra is moving with her tragic fate, knowing the future but powerless to prevent it.
Saint's writing is atmospheric, almost poetic, and manages to transport you into the world of myth without losing a sense of intimacy. The way she handles fate, curse, and revenge makes the book read with intensity and anticipation. The alternating perspectives give the familiar story new life and make you see the events from many sides.
Nevertheless, I found Electra herself rather one-dimensional and felt as if she was missing from her own book. Her devotion to her father is repeated so often that at times I felt she does not develop as a character. Also, towards the end, the plot seems to accelerate, leaving some scenes less powerful than the beginning promises.
Overall, Electra is a strong and well-written book, worth reading for those who love mythology and deep psychological portraits. Despite its small weaknesses, it left me with a sense of emotion and admiration for how myths can still speak to us today.
