I wish that the book was more from Medusa's perspective rather than from various characters (mainly Athene and Perceus). I found the God's various squabbles were getting tiresome for the most part, but I enjoyed the parts with Medusa and her sisters the most, makes you feel regret for what happens to them. Athene was an interesting character, spoilt but the ending featuring her was probably my favourite part. Perhaps Greek Mythology just isn't my thing, but I enjoyed most of this.

The book was fun and witty, but jumped from place to place, story to story too much. It didn't really feel like the different plotlines truly formed something that felt truly complete. The book was better when I just read it as a collection of anecdotes from the Greek myths.
Athene's ending came a bit out of nowhere too.
