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.

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!

"What [he] did to me that night long ago has formed only one small brick in the house of me. It is a huge house, which I've built and lived in and made beautiful, despite his worst intentions."
