This was a super fast read, a little too fast for me.  With a retelling, I was expecting more backstory for Medusa.  Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.  Large chunks of time were skipped between chapters which was confusing, I think having "X years later" would've been helpful.

I might try to continue the series in case this was a one off and the others are written differently and have more detail.
