Medusa's story was a blindspot for me, so I got to experience the deconstruction of my own misconceptions about the monster called Medusa so many other Greek mythology books mention. However, as someone not overly familiar with her story, I can't comment on the accuracy of this retelling (not that it matters because, you know, it's mythology at the end of the day!).

I enjoyed this story quite a lot. Like many others of its era, this feminist retelling puts injustices, abuses against women, and their power at the forefront of these previously male dominated stories. At times, there were some of the monologues and dialogues that felt a bit heavy-handed with their messaging, but nothing that distracted significantly. I generally prefer when breakthroughs or takeaways feel less direct and self-helpy (I hope that makes sense).

Overall, a wonderful story. I got to listen to it as an audiobook; I was so satisfied with the narration! I thank NetGalley and Hachette Audio for providing a review copy of this title. 

I'm also obsessed with the cover of this book! Technically, my audiobook had the yellow cover (which is still beautiful), but this purple/green one is so good I couldn't not use it. I'm hoping a print version with this cover comes out because it's probably my favorite cover of this year!
