This book probably deserves higher than I’m giving it- but I glazed over until 3/4ths of the way after all of the trigger warnings I ignored. Obviously we know that foundation of Medusas story but I wasn’t braced enough for it at the time. It cued my Shrodeingers Rapist senses on so much the first half I couldn’t really focus for a lot longer than o proud of.
The rest of my feedback is beating a dead horse with everyone else. It’s a misnomer to consider this work focused on Medusa, but not in a bad way. There is a very wide cast of POV, and the story wanders around a lot of the adjacent lore, and the ruthless way she portrays Perseus and Athene ego wise is super satisfying.
