Medusa's Sisters

This novel was my 5th dive into the Greek myth retelling genre. Madeline Miller is my absolute favorite, J. Saint and N. Haynes have disappointed me a little. "Medusa's Sisters" ranks very highly, though the narration in the prologue made me sceptical at first. It continually improves, impresses, immerses with its story of sisterly affection and competition, life-altering curses, death, birth - drama! What is a monster and why? And the 'cherry on top' are short, poignant poems at the start of each chapter that encompass or hint at what's ahead or behind. A world came to life, the characters and their thoughts and experiences will stay with me more than I'd anticipated going in. Beautiful and heartbreaking. Definitely worth the read!
