This was a cute novella and I’m here for the sapphic representation! It doesn’t do a whole lot for expanding the lore of the series, and I do wish it was a bit longer so that it wouldn’t feel so insta-lovey.

I get it's a novella but I wish it was longer. I hope to see these two again in the next books!

Nice novella! Curious if these two will ever show up in other Dark Olympus books! I guess we will see!

I read Neon God's at the beginning of this year & wasn't a fan of it. I decided before I continued the series I'd read this to see if the series is worth it & maybe just Neon God's was a flop, but I think the series might just be a flop. Overall I felt like Medusa & Calypso had a much better connection than Hades & Persephone in Neon God's & the storyline was okay but I feel like this could have been paced better instead of being kind of slow & then having everything happen all at once.

This was way too short, I could have easily read twice as much about Medusa and Calypso and still would have wanted more. The self-hatred of both of them turned the whole situation very sweet in my opinion. I love how Katee Robert twisted the Medusa story to fit her modern human Olympus scene.

This short little romp in Olympus follows Calypso and Medusa and the way their paths cross. There is a fair amount of groundwork laid for character and world building considering the length of the novella. There is a sexy sapphic love scene that’s open door and spice level 3, very fun to read. 

Some spelling and sentence structure error throughout was easy enough to get over. It might annoy some people that Medusa’s character is a little “simple” and awkward, so her dialogue leaves much to be desired- including inner dialogue.
