I want to preface this by saying that I am a major Medusa fan (if you can say that), but I truly really loved this book.
The switching between many perspectives(including her snakes and also some olive trees) , made this ancient story still feel very fresh and interesting.
The author also took a holistic approach and investigated all the surrounding myths that all contributed to Medusa and Perceus. Haynes obviously deeply cares about the content of her stories and I can't wait to read more.
