Absolutely loved this retelling of Medea’s story.. The twists and turns from her traditional story really make you sympathize with Medea. It also reiterates how men have usually written women in mythology, as victims or the monsters/witches. Its as close to perfect of a feminist retelling as we deserve, Medea’s is shown to be exactly who she is witch, mother, kinslayer, a titan’s descendant, murderer, wife, and woman.

Looking forward to reading other books by Eilish Quin.in the future.

I received a copy of Medea from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
