Set in ancient Greece, CLYTEMNESTRA follows the rise to power of a fierce queen.
I really liked that ancient Greece was the setting of this book as that's an area that I've always had an interest it. It took me a little while to find a groove as I began reading. There are a lot of characters and despite the family charts and character lists given, I was getting tripped up on who several people were for quite a bit until everything finally seemed to click into place. After that, the pacing felt smoother and I became engrossed in the story. The plot jumps ahead in time in a couple spots which was nice in that it kept things moving along and also provided the opportunity to follow Clytemnestra throughout her life as she grows from a young girl to an adult. I liked seeing her journey and how she dealt with different obstacles as she rose to power as queen. I do wonder if there could have been more character development for her had there had been slightly less included on secondary character storylines. I did find the writing enjoyable overall.
CLYTEMNESTRA was an enjoyable Greek mythology/historical fiction book that I'd recommend.
