‘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 . . .

Did this book make me cry every 10 minutes? Yes. Did I feel like my heart broke in a million pieces and my stomach was churning? Also yes. Will I recommend it to everyone I will ever interact with. I think you can guess my answer to that one too. This is perfect for the people already quite interested in mythology and hearing about it from the women’s perspective.

Fint å høre denne historien fra "monsterets" side av saken. De fleste mytologier forteller kun fra heltenes og gudenes ståsted. Tommel opp for god innlevelse fra innleser/forfatter
