This book about Medusa was choppy, and some of the mythology was unknown/forgotten by me, making parts a bit tricky to follow. For example, I don’t know if Perseus did as much killing as Medusa’s head states. Also, what was it with the weird ending, where a lonely Athena commits suicide by looking at Medusa, whom she herself created into a monster.
On the other hand, the book had a pleasantly ironic sense of humour, which made me laugh in parts. And making Medusa’s head sentient was quite clever, but it took a bit long to get there.
