4.5/5 stars.

In this book you'll find more than the story of Medusa. In Stone Blind, you'll find yourself immersed in a witty, engaging story from page 1, following how Medusa becomes the mortal Gorgon, why the goddess Athene punishes and gives her snakes for hair and a deathly stare, and how she becomes the Gorgoneion; as well as the myths around this occurrence. Natalie has a gift to narrate Greek Mythology and make it more than enjoyable and interesting for beginners.

4.5/5 Stars.

This a sad story. A heartbreaking story of a girl living and growing in a harsh world. A harsh world full of injustices, of racism, a girl growing alone while growing in a big family. This is the story of someone who grew up misunderstood and judged for not fitting in, but who also learned to make a hard experience a love letter. This book is for the Jo March's of the world. You are not alone.

33 pages of motly Nico and Libby fighting to death. I thought it would be something different, but I didn't dislike it. It gave me a really good laugh.

3.5/5 stars
Grumpy x sunshine trope

This book was fun to read. I enjoyed it a great deal.

SPOILERS

I mostly disliked Lizzie not defending herself from Sasha. I mean, seriously? I understand the circumstances, but still, I hated that.
And the beginning of the book. I honestly thought of Theo as a misogynistic pompous self-centered asshole. I came to eventually like him.

Looking forward to read the other books in the series.
