Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC in exchange for an honest review. (originally published in 2020, this ARC is for the paperback reprint coming out December 2023).
This was a super quick read, but I really enjoyed it and read it in one sitting! If you like mythology retellings, I'd definitely recommend it. It is easy to read but also I liked the writing a lot.
Because it's only about 200 pages, there isn't room for a ton of plot to happen, but it's a quick retelling of Medusa that tells another side, which was cool!
