Rezension von Niklas PartschAlthough this book had a slow start, where I didn't really get an overall plotline, with the start of the trojan war, the charakters started to be at odds with each other. I don't really get Elektras reasoning and how she can feel that way, but I changed the character I was rooting for quite often, also because there were no charakters written in black and white. I really enjoyed these grey areas and all charakters had actions I supported and actions I did not really like. It is a nice book, which continues the plot after the trojan war ended. I never read something that didn't end with the trojan war, that was nice.
