The Shadow of Perseus by Claire Heywood

4.0

Realistic and stark reimagining of the myths of Perseus in a world without supernatural creatures, magic and gods and leaving you with just the brutality of man and everything that comes from toxic male hubris.

I loved this dark and Feminist retelling of these myths from the perspective of the women touched by the story of Perseus. There's no need for sea creatures and snake headed monsters to create a feeling of fear when the men in the story are monsters themselves.
