I can't say I remember too much of this now after finishing it a month ago. It was enjoyable and there were some poignant quotes that struck me, which is why it's worth more than 3 stars. The only quote I made note of was: “I’d always known that inside new things grow the seeds of loss” which I found relatable to my current circumstances. As for the others, they're in there, so I might return to it one day.

Overall, not the most memorable retelling as I prefer something a bit longer with a bit more grit. That said, it's a great one for Young Adults and anyone else looking to dip their toe into Greek mythology retellings.

Very fast and easy read. Didn't know it was YA when I picked it out from the library. I liked this better than Stone Blind since it was actually Medusa telling the story. The ending wasn't what I expected. The whole story felt slow but also rushed. It was not bad but overall not the best.
