Incredibly beautiful retelling of Medusa's story. Natalie Haynes did a spectacular job of painting us a full picture of the events leading up to Medusa's birth, her life, unjust punishment, and her eventual, unwarranted, demise.

This book left me devastated and emotional in the best way; I could not put it down. I loved seeing the other perspectives in the world and how the choices of both gods and mortals were connected, both directly and indirectly. Medusa was a victim of immortal hubris and I am happy we got to see every angle of the story in this way. I will always recommend this book to anyone even slightly interested in mythology.
