A very quick and easy read which isn’t exactly common among Greek mythology retellings. I’m glad authors like Hannah Lynn are giving new life to these tragic and often forgotten stories, giving women like Medusa the clarity and closure they deserve.

I hoped for more... I loved Medusa's characterization but the story is basically Ovid's one. I wished there was more "retelling", more original elements. Best part of the book was Peseus' and Medusa's conversation at the end

A sad story that brings a new perspective to the story of Medusa. I think I would have liked it more if the book was longer. It felt very short, so there was little room to develop characters and settings, to the point that one feels unattached to most characters besides Medusa and Perseus.
