Welcome to Litsy!

Medea. Sorceress. Witch. Kin slayer. Medea‘s story is usually written by the victors. It‘s time for her to tell her own story.

Loved this! Such strong characterization! I totally believed that this Medea would make the choices she did. & her magic use was interesting to explore. & the inclusion of Atalanta!

I didn‘t like the 10 year skip. It seems like every Medea retelling skips that, & I want to see more exploration of that time. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

5/5⭐ I received an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This Medea is a fully realized character that pays homage to her place in ancient Greek literature but also speaks to a modern audience. The book is a compelling combination of magic, action, relationships, introspection, & character growth (albeit in an atypical direction). #bookspin

“Were we not exiled because you lost in combat against your cousin?” I counter, my voice lethally calm. I turn my attention to Aegeus. “I was unconscious at the time. It was, in fact, the only time Jason was left to face his foe alone. Quite the coincidence.”

Girl, SLAY.

The women of Corinth ogle Jason. He is still deemed a valiant hero in their eyes, yet his victories were born from the same bloodshed that makes me a villain.
