Hey! i’m looking for a book that is heavily revenge driven with an mc consumed by it. I really love the greek mythology i’d there’s a book that has both these things i’d love to give it a read. If not just let me know your best revenge books. (Also I would prefer more mature books).

So I did a quick google search of “Greek Retellings” (I was specifically looking for one on Medea because if anyone would be consumed by revenge, it’d be her) and it sounds like Home Fire by Kamila Shamsie MIGHT be up your alley. Here’s the list I found for reference: https://medeapalatina.com/2021/11/01/add-these-myth-retellings-to-your-to-be-read-list/
“Elektra” by Jennifer Saint checks your boxes – it’s a retelling of some of the events of the Trojan War. I don’t want to spoil it, but if you’re familiar with the “Oresteia”, then you’ll have an idea of who wants revenge (it’s more than one character!) and why.
