This gives a lot of depth to the heroes and villains we think we know so well.

If you enjoy The Song of Achilles and Circe you will enjoy this. I do wish this book was a bit longer and had kore detail, but was a good retelling. Again, understanding why it was short, but wish it was longer.

I really enjoyed this book and getting to read a different telling of Medusa's story. I thought the way the author put compassion and care into Medusa causes you to look at her story differently. Also liked the spin on Perseus who did a sacrificial killing of Medusa instead of the story we've always been told.


I would highly recommend everyone read this book!!
