Stone Blind by Natalie Haynes

laura_corsi's review against another edition

3.0

Told in a fairy tale style with a narrator that sympathizes with the "monsters" over the humans. I thought this would be a twisting of the original tale and that Medusa would triumph this time, but alas. The change is that Medusa is not portrayed as though she were evil. I still enjoyed it though as I really enjoyed the acerbic tone of the narrator. I sped through it.

One of the best books I've ever read! It's heartbreaking and so horribly sad. The audio book is amazing and I insist everyone listen to it
