Really enjoyed this book. Fabulous to give this famous women a voice to tell her own story. Loved how Medusa was not victimised or idealised. She also had her flaws which made her more human and relatable, compared to the monster/victim label she receives. The character of Hermes gives a great comic relief to the story. This would make an amazing movie!
