I'm upping the rating to a full 5 stars. This retelling is so heartbreaking and beautiful, and it's incredibly well written! There's such a punch packed into such a short book. Reading it is a wonderfully tragic experience.

How come I know how the myth goes and I was still shocked at the ending? I want to cry. Medusa is my favorite myth and this novella was a fantastic retelling of her story. I loved the writing!
