Stone Blind

By Natalie Haynes

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Can a monster be beautiful if it is still terrifying?”

“And is a monster always evil?”

If you’ve been following me for any length of time you’ll know that this is not my usual read. 

I am consistently blown away by how much I enjoy a beautiful feminine edge to a retelling of a classic. (See: Circe). 

I will never look at Medusa the same. The hurt and anger I felt in understanding more of her story is unmatched. Just the unfairness in the time of the Greek gods is enough to enrage me, but the romanticizing of the misogyny…. I’m on the war path.   

The emotional journey that is Stone Blind is unmatched. 

Well done, Natalie Haynes. 

Read if: you like Greek mythology, you enjoyed Circe (or Song of Achilles-nevermind that I didn’t) or if you have read and loved any of Natalie Haynes other books (which I am currently adding to my TBR).
