"Very easy read! Interesting pov of the gorgon sisters and the Greek Gods, vast vocabulary; learned a lot of new words like aprocrophal (doubtful intentions) and sagacious (shrewd) (>!<) Lots of mature scenes (sa warning)"

"What a great book!!! I was completely immersed in the story, and I loved the way it retells the story of Medusa. The thoughts in the last pages are very interesting, and the ending is really nice as well. Definitely a 10/10! You don’t have to like Gr"

“I have always known Fear. She was the fourth sister, and my most intimate acquaintance.”
― Medusa's Sisters

“Euryale could barely conceal the odium in her voice. “And their mothers allow you to enslave their children or leave them for dead?” “The mothers must survive in a world where men and gods—and men who think they are gods—limit their choices.” Charmion’s nostrils flared. “To have choices is to have power. Most women have neither.”
― Medusa's Sisters
― Medusa's Sisters
“There is no perfect trinity, for three connotes competition. Power struggles. Favoritism and loneliness. We were almost not a trio; although now that she is gone, neither of us feels like a duo. We are not twins, nor will we ever be. Our third was the center, and when we lost her, we also failed each other, collapsing inward upon ourselves. A broken triplet. Thrice blessed. Thrice cursed.”
