Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC in exchange for an honest review. (originally published in 2020, this ARC is for the paperback reprint coming out December 2023).

This was a super quick read, but I really enjoyed it and read it in one sitting! If you like mythology retellings, I'd definitely recommend it. It is easy to read but also I liked the writing a lot.

Because it's only about 200 pages, there isn't room for a ton of plot to happen, but it's a quick retelling of Medusa that tells another side, which was cool!

I'm not sure how to review or rate this book. I know what the author was trying to go for, but I felt like it was executed poorly. When the book should've felt empowering, I felt... disappointed. I love Medusa's story and was hoping that this book would be a retelling worth reading, but it just didn't do that for me.
