I found the audio on this difficult to navigate at times, particularly during conversations, as often there was no indication of a switch of speaker, either through the text or the audio.

A retelling of Medusa that looks at her story differently looking at Medusa as the victim that she is and takes back her power.

This book was really mediocre overall. I didn't particularly enjoy the storytelling and the writing is very simple and lacks any real depth to it. I do think there are some interesting plot points and messages about how girlhood is robbed from young women through society, but the delivery fell very flat for me.

Beautiful retelling, an intriguing greek myth with lyrical prose to draw you through enabling you to sink into the character fully.
