I wanted to give this terrific book a 5, but kept being thrown out of the story by stumbling over typos. PPP, please hire more proofreaders!
(e.g., The King and the Kind are not the same people. Especially in Mythic Greece. I had to back up and reread to figure out that it wasn't a poetic reference to the Furies....)
That aside, though, this was a fantastic ending to an excellent series. Well worth reading!

I liked this better than the preceding book, Cassandra, although she is actually also here, making it a true sequel. Odysseus has a cameo pov.
The author brings a new depth to the Electra/Orestes story by giving them deeper motives than Agamemnon's murder.

I adore this series, can't wait to read Medea! Kerry Greenwood is a seriously talented writer. I love how to spins the myths and makes them fit into the history of antiquity. Not sure Odyssey needed a POV but I still enjoyed his sections
