This book was incredible. Having not known a lot about Medusa prior to reading, it was heartbreaking learning some of the smaller details of her story.

I found overall this was a good adaptation of the original story. Being a fan of adaptation, I would have liked to have seen more changes made to the original story. However, the small changes Haynes made contributed not only to Medusa's character, but also other women such as Medusa's sisters.

I love historical fiction that makes we want to learn more about history/mythology/anything!

I loved the story. It didn't blow me away, that's why it's 4 Stars. I thought that there were many perspectives and that was confusing at first but in the end it all ended nicely together. 

poor medusa :(
