WHY WASN’T THIS A FULL BOOK????

Medusa and Calypso were both brilliant, complex women, forced into unsavory situations to survive. I loved them and I loved their dynamic, and if there’d been more time to delve deeper, I honestly think this could’ve been tied with Neon Gods for my favorite book in the series. As it is, though the romance was quite sweet and I was rooting for it all the way, the story felt way too rushed and not entirely believable. The whole thing took place over the course of three days, which, in my opinion, is not nearly enough time to do anything except introduce the characters. This novella was good, don’t get me wrong, but if it was a full book, it could’ve been fantastic.

And one more thing. Maybe this is just me being pedantic, but I noticed something while reading that didn’t feel right. The two women were talking, and Medusa was questioning how someone as beautiful as Calypso could like her. Calypso had plenty of reassuring things to say, but one thing she thought bothered me—“She’s not beautiful or suave or any of the other things my past lovers have been.” Shouldn’t she be thinking that Medusa might not be traditionally beautiful/beautiful by society’s standards, but is to her? I don’t know. Just a thought. ://
