If its Greek Mythology, I'm buying it. I've owned this boom for awhile and never got around to reading it so I opted for the audiobook. I will state that the narration was brilliant, but I think I would have enjoyed this book more if I physically read it. The book is very fast paced and so can be hard to fully give your attention to. I went into this book thinking it would be predominantly about Medusa and from her POV (and I wish this book did have more of that), but the multiple POV aspect was enjoyable. I'm left with the interpretation that the gods are 'petty from this telling, and that Medusa was just a brief victim of the pettiness. Overall I enjoyed the feminist aspect of this book and the multi layered telling of the story.
