Bonus Book of the Month: ‘I, Medusa’ by Ayana Gray
In February, we are focusing on women in the fantasy genre!
Our BONUS BOOK for February is I, Medusa by Ayana Gray.
When we read our favourite books, there’s usually an antagonist that everyone loves to hate, or they hate to love. Ayana Gray presents a new villain origin story by reimagining one of the most prolific monsters in Greek mythology.
