I was just not having a good time with this book, which is disappointing after Wrong Place Wrong Time. Might be just me or where my mind is at right now, but the writing was really confusing me. The sentences and paragraphs felt fragmented and clumsily put together. I constantly had to reread to make sense of what was going on. Using a ton of commas does not necessarily elevate your prose. And once again, she uses 'jaded' to describe the characters. There are other words, babes. Speaking of characters, I felt like she tried too hard to make Julia seem like a good person. It was just an overload of her telling the reader how moral and uncorrupted she is, but simply telling it isn't enough. At least space out the praise and don't dump it on me all at once.

One thing I did like is that she didn't drag the mystery of Genevieve to the end, but it was not enough to turn this around for me. 

The premise is intriguing, but I feel like this book is an unpolished idea more than a story. It's disjointed and superficial. You're given no time to settle into it before you're thrown into another, seemingly unrelated POV. I loved the female rage aspect of it, but everything else was just incredibly tedious and disappointing. 

Terribly boring and seemingly aimless. Nothing seems to happen in this book. Feels like a waste of time and potential. 

Based on the description, I should have loved this book. I tried to give it a fair chance, but it just felt like a chore to pick up with no indication of improvement.

The story is told in two POVs, one of which includes two timelines. I really liked Shannon's POV because it gave me some vague idea of what was happening, whereas Olivia's POV felt sluggish, repetitive and incredibly lackluster. The relationship between Olivia and her wife seemed superficial to the point of not being believable.

Thank you to Poisoned Pen Press for the ARC.

Great writing, but everything else was just not my thing. 

Nothing really wrong with it. I just found it kind of boring and I couldn't seem to care about the characters or the story at all.

This is the second time I have been fooled by this author's book blurbs. First I was promised a story about women (A Thousand Ships), but what I got was a story about men, and now I was promised a story about Medusa, but got one about literally everyone else under the sun.

This was supposed to be about Medusa - where was she? 

But okay, to start off with something positive - I loved both the Gorgons' and Danae's chapters, but that's it. The chapters on Olympus & about the gods in general are just so terribly written it's shocking. You have this serious story about Danae's and Medusa's life and then you get these ridiculous chapters about the gods that feel almost like a parody or mockery. Why? 

Everything outside of Danae's or Medusa's chapters is so disjointed and brief and low effort, like the author didn't know how to or could not be bothered to put it together into a coherent story. You get a piece of this and a piece of that, but where is it all going and why does it even matter - no clue! It's like she's giving me a box of lego and I have to put it together on my own without any instructions.

I also hated how the author inserted herself into the story. Keep your opinions to yourself, please, and let me arrive at these conclusions on my own. I don't need anyone to tell me what I think or should think.

A little help with the mythology would also have been appreciated. I should not turn to google because the author doesn't give me any names and leaves me guessing as to who she's even talking about. 

Plot doesn't line up, unlikable MC, bland characters.
