Gorgeous, gorgeous writing. I do feel like the message, while beautiful and touching, especially at the end, was very Feminism 101 and also Medusa 101 but that didn't redact from my reading experience too much. What did redact from it was Burton's insistence on using 'mum' instead of 'mother'. Still, this had me absolutely hooked and I devoured it in a day. Will look into the author's other works.

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.
