Lettura di leo, il mio ragazzo:
Scrittura fluente, ma libro e trama senza nessun tipo di profondità.

I wrote a whole long review and then storygraph glitched and ate it 💀 In short, I love the way the myth is portrayed here, the way Athena is a goddess who simply cannot understand the powerlessness of mortal women, the way her wrath overrides any semblance of care she might have. I love too how Perseus is woven in via his mother's story, starting right with her birth; she is important too, not just Perseus.
In short, this is a feminist retelling, but a refreshing one that feels no need to tell you that repeatedly, and instead centers the women in the narrative without question or signaling.

Avevo zero aspettative perché ormai chiunque scrive retelling, ma è stato meraviglioso ❤️

Not the best retelling I've ever read. In fact this is just more of a telling of the original myth. Because the author didn't really put a creative spin on it, I didn't enjoy it as I did with other retellings. If you don't know the original story of medusa this could be a good introduction.
I wanted more focus on medusa and more of a feminist take but unfortunately there were only glimmers of what could have been in this text.
