The beauty of myths

Retelling the stories we all broadly know, but doing so from a different perspective, with deeper back stories to lesser known characters, and modern morals revitalizes these ancient stories.

Good solid twist on an ancient story.

Easy quick listen, Enough of the original to make it work but the new twist kept it interesting and incorporated well

Magical

This book sent me into a time that I love. I want to more and more of this story everytime I hear a different version of Medusa.

One of the best retellings of medusa I have ever read

I have read a lot of Greek mythology and this is one of the best modern retelling of medusa story. This was amazing.

Such a poetic retelling

I really enjoyed this book! The storyline was intricate without getting bogged down, the narrator was talented, and I loved the twist on these classic stories.
