I know I know - this one falls into one of my niche interests. And I’ve read almost all of Haynes novels -and they never disappoint. Again we have a retelling that takes the traditional myth we though we knew and sets it in the points of view of the women involved. Personally, this version of Athena and forms of Medusa resonated with my understanding of the characters and felt almost more accurate than other depictions I have seen. The righteous rage is also a fantastic element, that I almost wish we saw more of in this other narratives. 4.5/5 
Thank you Netgalley and Harper Collins for sending the book for review consideration. All opinions are my own!
