This book was read as part of the 2023 book club for April. Stone Blind is a unique look at a very familiar tale. I enjoyed the multiple POV's and the changes to the story to make it seems more "realistic". The Gods and Goddesses feel much more like their myths and stories (petty, arrogant, concerned with themselves and unconcerned with humans unless it benefits them). Medusa's story is heartbreaking and hearing it told from her perspective only makes the heartbreak that more poignant.
