Perhaps I shouldn’t have read this right after I read Ithaca. I dislike books that start off with character lists, because I’m not flipping back and forth (something that’s impossible to do if you’re reading an audiobook). Also, I thought the depth of the characterization wasn’t as well done as literally all of the other Greek mythology retellings. It’s a fast read, good perspective from Medusa and her sisters, but pretty bland otherwise.
