great narration - but this tale weaves many characters in Greek mythology into the narrative - and sometimes you loose sight of Medusa. I did enjoy it, but felt sad at Medusa's path in life. She was not a monster, she was violated and then used to destroy....

Like other people have said, this doesn't feel like Medusa's story. By the end, she seemed like a side character, barely any development and I didn't feel invested in her or any of the other characters.

Really enjoyed this book and would recommend! The narration was engaging and well done, but I think more differentiation for the characters voices would have been helpful for me in some parts. There's a whole chapter from the point of view of snakes so that's a plus 🐍
