I really enjoyed this retelling of Medusa’s story - through the lens of many gods, mortals and creatures (even sheep!). This is definitely the best telling I’ve heard of Medusa and her story - she’s often discussed but never  talked about in the way she is in this book, and I’m very fond of the way her tale is told. I found it a tad confusing at times when perspectives switched,  but the plot remains mostly clear regardless of who’s narrating it.
