Review of 'Stone Blind' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Natalie's audiobook narration is so entertaining! Who gets to decide who is a monster? This story tells the story of Medusa as innocent victim, unfairly punished for her rape. And Perseus is such a wet blanket, rather than the hero of myths.

I see some complaints that this is told from lots of perspectives, not just Medusa's but I enjoyed the story of Andromeda and the bickering gods too. And the scene between Perseus and the Graeae was so much fun. Although ultimately sad that one naive young man did so much damage to people he dismissed as monsters
