The gods are capricious and fate is cruel and I need a drink.
I applaud the tiniest bit of agency Medusa had in this retelling of her story.

What an utter disappointment. I had hoped to get Medusa's point of view but she barely has one third of the page number. Instead we get a plethora of characters and side stories among side stories that come together in the end in the most boring way. And of course Perseus who is a caricature of a spoilerd egoistic brat. And Medusa's thoughts and feelings? Rarely even mentioned.
Also: huge TW for rape which happens a lot here.

This made me so fuckin ragey for Medusa she deserved so much better.
Athena is trash
Men are trash .
This wasn’t an original Medusa story like I thought or really her story which was frustrating just a recanting.
I want a story from her POV now.

This book probably deserves higher than I’m giving it- but I glazed over until 3/4ths of the way after all of the trigger warnings I ignored. Obviously we know that foundation of Medusas story but I wasn’t braced enough for it at the time. It cued my Shrodeingers Rapist senses on so much the first half I couldn’t really focus for a lot longer than o proud of.
The rest of my feedback is beating a dead horse with everyone else. It’s a misnomer to consider this work focused on Medusa, but not in a bad way. There is a very wide cast of POV, and the story wanders around a lot of the adjacent lore, and the ruthless way she portrays Perseus and Athene ego wise is super satisfying.

Refreshingly blunt prose, but it detracts from the story tension. Assumes familiarity with the source material. Have Wikipedia open as you read.
