Certainly a new take on a Greek retelling, but I’m wondering if I really actually enjoyed the experience of reading this book. Almost all the characters, par the Gorgoneians, maybe, are quite unlikable; it makes it hard to connect with anyone in the story. 

Also, I definitely expected to hear more of Medusa’s voice throughout the story, but… I feel like she’s barely here and there, just in small snippets in her own story… 

Was… Just an okay read. Nothing amazing or truly memorable. It was easy to read, though. Perhaps the writing style wasn’t for me (as in, the author speaking directly to the reader via a character in the book.) Sad, as I usually really like Greek retelling.
