Medusa by Jessie Burton

3.0

While I enjoyed this feminist retelling of the Medusa-myth overall, I felt the prose was at times very beautiful and poetic and other times in a very simple and 21st century YA-style. While reading Medusa‘s story I wished it felt less like an romanticized ordeal of an angsty teenager and went more into the backstory and memories. Overall a quick read that doesn’t offer too many new insights into the well-known myth other than a empowering spin towards the end.
