Athena's Child by Hannah Lynn

3.0

A good entry into the mythology retellings oeuvre, but not one of the standouts. There's a really good story here, but Lynn uses her morality lesson as the lens through which the reader understands Medusa, when it should really be the other way around. It comes off heavy handed and like the #feminism is the point, instead of Medusa and her story. This was going to be a two star read for me, but the ending conversation between Perseus and Medusa saved it; that was definitely the best part of the book. The book averaged out to being good, but I probably won't read the other two books in this series.
