I definitely recommend this book to all people who want to read about Medusa and Percy. There are a lot of details about the mythology and other Greek Gods regarding the story. I also love Natalie Haynes. This is my second read of hers, my first being A Thousand Ships.

Sweet fantastical world with a goofy wizard who is a pain in the ass and a girl who is trying to figure out her life. I can see why this has a movie adaptation.

4.0

Very close to 5 ⭐, but it was very YA at some points. I think I have matured out of the YA genre or it just isn't my thing at the moment. Other then that, it was a fun read. I really enjoyed the norse mythology and the fantasy of it. Definitely a good Romantasy book if you are in the mood for one. Trope of close proximity.
