I have given the previous works I've read by Natalie Haynes five stars. In general, I have enjoyed her narrative voice and she seems to have a strong grasp on Greek mythology. That said, Stone Blind was very lackluster. It was slow, repetitive, and the dialogue from each character felt far too similar. We didn't get nearly enough of Medusa even though she's the supposed main character. The story got so tedious that I had to put the audiobook on double speed, which I very rarely do.
