“Mothers should not expect their children to be exactly like their parents. Rather, they should fear raising a child who is exactly like them, for there will be no room for that child to grow.”

Compared to Stone Blind by Natalie Haynes, this story is much more personal.  This book covers Medusa's life from her childhood up to her sure demise.

Though there are sweet and touching moments, this is also heartbreaking. Medusa really was just an innocent maiden caught up in the gods' pettiness. She did not deserve what Athena did to her. She was not a monster the mortals deemed her to be. 

I cried so badly at the end.
