Crown of Serpents is an exciting retelling of the Perseus and Medusa myth, with a twist that focuses on female rage and adventure, and focuses on Medusa as a person rather than another boring hero who slays the evil Gorgon (lets admit it, Greek mythology loves to recycle the same plots where a woman can only be a victim in need of saving or a monster in need of slaying). 

Medusa’s character shines with complexity, her motivations layered with a depth that makes her both formidable and sympathetic. 

Reed’s retelling is engaging, especially for fans of Greek mythology who enjoy alternate perspectives. 
While some parts felt a bit rushed and predictable, it was a compelling read that will keep me hooked until the end. If you like mythology with strong female leads and action-packed plots, this book is definitely worth checking out.
