Haynes spoke through Calliope and gave a voice to the broken women of Troy. It was nice to read the voice of the women in this war, I can only recommend it.

pickI remember first reading the scene with Clytemnestra in the Iliad and thinking WTAF!! 🤬 (i wont say why because spoilers) I couldnt believe that the narrative continued on barely acknowledging the abuse (imo) - so i was always going to read this book. It‘s engaging and propulsive but dark and violent too. Women in the myths were horribly mistreated and misrepresented - I‘m glad to see a retelling that puts Clytemnestra‘s experience first.
pickThe book begins with a journey into mysticism, but soon pulls you into the heartache of an abandoned daughter, a lovesick soul, and a mother who is both delicate and fierce. She alchemized her pain into profound knowledge, but the world couldn‘t understand it, calling her a witch. Yet, she wore the label like a crown 👑, owning it with the strength and dignity of a queen. 🔮
so-soA novel based on the story of Clytemnestra in the Greek myths was never going to be a light read, but this one felt exceptionally heavy, with no light relief, and some heavy-handed writing and clumsy metaphors.

pickDRAMA ✨ giggles ✨DRAMA ✨giggles ♥️ heartfelt talk ♥️ DRAMA ✨ giggles ✨DRAMA ✨giggles ✨DRAMA!!! I find this a winning pattern. The art is by turns beautiful, inventive and hilarious, and the plot bounces between tense interpersonal stuff and wholesome vulnerable stuff and truly ridiculous stuff. Still my favourite portrayal of the Olympians, especially Hades and Persephone. 1/2
