Athena's Child
by Hannah Lynn
I picked up Athena's Child because it is described as a retelling of Medusa's mythology, told from her point of view. I'm not a big mythology reader, but Medusa has always fascinated me. The beginning was strong - humanizing Medusa and explaining how she became a priestess for Athena and how she was unfairly punished with the snake hair, but it devolved into talking more about Perseus's backstory (which I wasn't super interested in) and not adding much depth to his character. It honestly got kind of boring and felt more like reading a standard mythology story instead of giving much insight or new perspective to Medusa.
2.5 rounded up.
