Greek retellings just are not for me. Until these authors start actually dissecting the stories or telling them as the horror stories that they are for women instead of just straight up retelling the story with nothing new to say, they feel like a waste of time to me. This would have been so much better as a pure psychological horror. I mean Cassandra is a woman who was assaulted by a god and, for rejecting him, was cursed to have the gift of visions but no one to believe her. That's horrific and Saint did barely anything with it. The entire story of these two families stuck in a battle of bloody vengeance is horrific, the family members dead and lost to this belief that it's what the gods want is horrific, but that barely felt touched on. I never fully understood why Elektra chose her father who murdered her own sister then disappeared to go fight a war over her mother who was there the whole time. Like, I understand why intellectually, but I don't understand WHY emotionally. Saint just tells us the story of these three women beat by beat, but never digs deep into the WHY of any of it. Why is Cassandra even included in this story? Because she's supposed there, but she's not allowed to actually DO anything. Everything just IS because that's how the Greeks said it was. But what's the point? Why are we here? Why are we retelling this story? Why are we giving voices to these women if we're not allowing them to even say anything?
