I enjoyed this and especially enjoyed the petulant and childish tone almost all the gods and supernatural creatures had. It made sense the way they interacted with humans, showing their complete lack of understanding of human pain and suffering and their general lack of interest in trying to understand. Almost everything that didn't serve their agenda was a bother, they were easily insulted, and very vengeful. I liked how the author portrayed these attributes with the gods making all their emotions clear and known because what was the point of holding back and mincing words when practically no one can counter you?

Sadly, while this was supposed to be Medusa’s story, we didn’t get as much of her as I would have liked but I think it still worked well enough.
