I enjoyed Medusa. I found its love story compelling and engaging with the fact that you get to read about two people falling in love with their words all the while never seeing each other.

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.

A book about how to conqure the internal turmoils of yourself and realise that you deserve happiness at all costs, regardless of what people see. Putting your own happiness infront of others and coming out stronger, braver and more powerful. The trials of your past made you stronger and no longer afraid of yourself or the future.

I loved the idea of showing the innocence and tragedy behind Medusa rather than the villainous nature that was forced upon her by angry gods.

I’m not a major fan of modern writing styles with greek retellings, while seemingly being based in a non-modern world. Also not the biggest fan of the ending. A nice read.
