Letto tutto d'un fiato, estremamente coinvolgente! Ottima riscrittura di un mito poco trattato.

I love a good Greek Mythology book. This one tells Medusa's story and how she allowed Perseus to give her a merciful end for a noble cause rather than him slaying her like a monster. I liked it.

While this was a really good book, I have to agree with many other readers. I do not agree that this is a feminist retelling, although I don't believe it was marketed as such. I did appreciate however that Medusa was taken as the victim that she was meant to be rather than a cruel monstrous villain. Where I do disagree is where Perseus is regarded. I think that his story needed to be told in order to set up the end of Medusa's storyline. I also liked the empathy he had for her. I will be finishing the trilogy eventually.
