Very fast and easy read. Didn't know it was YA when I picked it out from the library. I liked this better than Stone Blind since it was actually Medusa telling the story. The ending wasn't what I expected. The whole story felt slow but also rushed. It was not bad but overall not the best.

An incredibly well crafted, poetic story that I wish I had had the privilege of reading in my early 20s.

A very quick but emotion invoking and thought provoking read. 

A heartbreakingly beautiful coming of age feminist retelling of Medusa. 

Yes, girl! TAKE UP SPACE!
