An amazing retelling!! The way she wrote the immortal beings in this was really funny but also disturbing. Medusa will live in my heart forever

Wish it wasn’t a collection of short stories - found the recap of what happens in the previous story at the beginning of every new story annoying. This would’ve worked better as a novel, especially as all the events described happen in a pretty short time span. Still enjoyable and fun to read, enjoyed starting TOG with this one
