well, a second read done and i got to enjoy the additional content!

pool scene... head empty...

libation bearers done!! electra and orestes are cute but i really don't understand where the author stands on the subject. if he is even meant to stand anywhere? the chorus says that women bad etc etc and i surmise this is the author's view but also i get very different vibes from clytemnestra's words and actions, and the way the murder is framed. am i just overanalyzing with my modern sensibilities?

yeah this is still like C2 english for me, i usually don't look up words i don't know in books but here i have to or i won't get what's going on. so i'm taking my time because first time i read it i devoured it quickly following the plot and as a result i barely even remember half the things that happened

time for a reread!

agamemnon done. horrific description of iphigenia's sacrifice

literally took me a minute to remember and remind myself maeve isn't real

no no no, i knew this would happen, just why, why??? i am so upset i can scarcely bring myself to finish the book. their mother's just pure evil, i don't understand what other angle there's supposed to be?? unless you're christian i guess?

gosh this is upsetting me

girl, not "exoskeleton"😫

names, names, names...

a decent start, the writing is neither too simple nor too pretentious. it is a bit more romantasy than I expected with the emphasis on romance right from the beginning but that's okay too

but i'm sorry she lifted him off his feet?? what?? how

bro odysseus what are you even doing. achilles i'm sorry for calling you a jerk, come back, you're not half as bad
