Review

I have always been fascinated by Medusa and her sisters.  Her punishment always seemed extreme, even for petty, childish gods.  I love the view of this author and how in this book Medusa retains her humanity, even when viewed as a monster.  The portrayal of Medusa as a good person who was just terribly unlucky is a sad view of the myth; however in this story she isn’t to be pitied.  She takes everything that life hands her and makes the best of it, something I continually wish I had the ability to do.

I love the strong character development and the sort of archetypical actions of some of the characters.  This was an excellent fresh look at an ancient legend.

I give this story 4 out of 5 clouds.
