thanks to netgalley for providing me an e-arc in exchange for a review!
ohhhh medea my messy woman. and i get it. if i had been born with limitless power and then got it systematically shoved down by men starting from childhood? yeah i'd lose it a little bit too. i continue to be obsessed with novels about the women who are generally side characters in classical greek stories, and to frame the stories from how they would see the world and how the world would treat them. this was well written, well paced, and provided me so much reason to support medea in all of her actions. rosie hewlett may become an auto-read author for me after this one.
