However, midway through I was starting to crave a different perspective. The way Medusa tells her story is captivating and poetic, but already previously knowing the story of Medusa and Perseus, made me wonder what Perseus' perspectives were.
I do highly recommend this book, it's an enchanting love story with an ending that could turn your heart to stone.

While this book deals with an age-old story, it brings it into modern relevance by touching on topics like female standards of beauty and victim blaming. Medusa struggles with her appearance defining her identity when she wishes to be the sole person to write her own story. This book sends a powerful message about accepting every facet of the person you have become, especially after it seems like trauma has changed you.
