Has anyone else read Stone Blind by Natalie Haynes and Medusa's Sisters by Lauren J. A. Bear? I read Medusa's Sisters last summer and just finished Stone Blind.
Of course there are a lot of similarities – they are both modern retellings of a classic story, but I was surprised at how similar the narratives were despite Medusa not being the immediate protagonist of Medusa's Sisters. Both obviously portrayed Medusa sympathetically, but that kind of made both books inherent tragedies. I've read a number of these "modern reimagining of myths" books in the past couple of years (Circe, Song of Achilles, Witch's Heart, Elektra, Kaikeyi, Spinning Silver) and some have definitely stood above the others. Are there any that are must reads?
