Loved it. Quick and engaging read. Holy shit, Medusa, I’m so sorry for what happened to you! Makes me wonder how many other female characters in our collective mythology are painted as “evil” when they’re simply hurt and misunderstood.

This was a super fast read, a little too fast for me. With a retelling, I was expecting more backstory for Medusa. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Large chunks of time were skipped between chapters which was confusing, I think having "X years later" would've been helpful.
I might try to continue the series in case this was a one off and the others are written differently and have more detail.
