Liked the story, the build, the energy and the conclusion. Really bought the story to the minds eye. Brilliant. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.5 🤯 *by L***E on 18 May 2025* This was... a lot of things.A story of a child with a special gift of magic that is shunned, feared, hated even, by those who should love her. She reaches out to anyone who'll have her, and sadly a manipulative narcissist takes advantage. I'll admit, that whole storyline infuriated me. So often, Medea was told of Jason's shortcomings, and that he, just like her father, was just using her. And still she gave and gave and gave until he was no longer interested.Ultimately they were toxic for each other and "violence bred violence" as Medea kept reminding herself.In the end, the epilogue reminded me a lot of my debut novel about Mary I "The Saddest Princess", because stripped to its basics, this book was about a girl who was shaped and moulded into a "monster" due to other people's abuse, neglect, gaslighting, using of her.A tragic tale. And one that has left me unsure about who the villain really is. Very deep, complex and thought provoking.I loved it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A hauntingly sorrowful, tragically mesmerising, delicious and dark retelling *by C***G on 14 April 2024* Having read Rosie Hewlett’s Medusa a couple of years ago, I was so looking forward to how she would carve the same magical, lyrical, breathtaking prose into the story of this most complex and hateful character. To say that my expectations were high is a bit of an understatement. Safe to say that from the first page, I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed. Sure, you should read this book if you like Greek Myth. You should read this book if you like retellings, if you like an alternative viewpoint on what your current perceptions of Medea are. But you should also read it if you appreciate beautiful and evocative writing, you like a good adventure, you are interested in family dynamics, loyalty, betrayal and breakdown. It’s all in this incredible novel, plus flawless characterisations, observations on gaslighting and manipulation and heartbreaking descriptions of the sheer power of blinding love.Most of us know Medea’s story - infamous scenes of witchcraft, violence, murder - it’s all there. Medea perpetrates some truly (and at times, jaw dropping) acts which will stay in your consciousness well beyond the final chapter (which by the way, is truly stunning in its tentative offer of redemption and hope which, without the beauty of the writing, would otherwise be impossible to achieve).We hate her for what she does, we love her for her complexity, we root for her when we know she is up against it, we scream with her at the injustices she faces, we cry for her when the inevitability of her life’s course becomes plain and, above all, we truly empathise with her. For an author to evoke such a range of emotions in the reader is remarkable and we may be forgiven for thinking that it is not only Medea who has magical powers 😊 ## Frequently Bought Together - Medea: The instant Sunday Times bestseller!
