This is a story of Medusa, but told through the point of view of everyone involved in the entire story - whether they know they are or not. I wasn't certain I would like the multiple povs throughout this novel but I thought they fit very nicely in telling a bigger picture. It was interesting how everything intersected, as well as getting an inner look at the thoughts of everyone whose story connects with Medusa in some way, when in previous tellings you're told what the character does but not how they feel about it.

However, if you're looking for a story told entirely from Medusa's pov, or telling a different story than the well known myths, this might not be what you're looking for.

I will say that if you're not at least semi-familiar with many of the myths involving Medusa and the surrounding influences, I think some parts might be a bit confusing on figuring out how they all relate to each other. They are explained, but I knew the myths as they were being described so I could have missed something that needed explained that someone who doesn't know them would need.
