Another greek retelling hit-or-miss for me
I could see the power of intertwining stories but the book felt like it was dragging out the plot for the sake of plot. I really wanted to love this but it felt quite dull for such an interesting tale. I did gain a greater perspective of medusa’s story but it didn’t do it for me.

The author wanted to reflect about  profund topics but was very in your face about what she meant. Also characters were either evil and petty or good to the extreme. All in all, there was no place for the reader's own interpretation or subtlety...
