‘So to mortal men, we are monsters. Because of our flight, our strength. They fear us, so they call us monsters’
Medusa is the sole mortal in a family of gods. Growing up with her Gorgon sisters, she begins to realize that she is the only one who experiences change, the only one who can be hurt.
When Poseidon commits an unforgiveable act against Medusa in the temple of Athene, the goddess takes her revenge where she can: on his victim. Medusa is changed forever – writhing snakes for hair and her gaze now turns any living creature to stone. She can look at nothing without destroying it.
Desperate to protect her beloved sisters, Medusa condemns herself to a life of shadows. Until Perseus embarks upon a quest to fetch the head of a Gorgon . . .

The worst part is when I finish the book and is left alone with the emptiness. I want it to not be finished.

Helt igennem fantastisk bog, som jeg kommer til at læse mange gange endnu! Smukt sprog, god fortælleform, godt oplæst og med bidder af humor.

A refreshing take on a classic from the feminist perspective. It gives a new #metoo perspective of how the famed hero, Perseus, is over glorified, and the thoughtlessness and cruelty of gods and goddesses and men caused a poor woman to die without a reason.

It was a good story. I liked the shifting perspectives and attention to detail. It's wonderful to have a woman centric story about ancient Greece. The language is a bit careless in regard to SA, although not graphic in it's descriptions.
