Firstly, I’d like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a free e-arc of Medea by JJ Taylor. 

 

Finally, I have finally read a Medea retelling. AND I LIKED IT. 

 

For the past few years, I’ve been finding a Greek mythology retelling that isn’t Hades and Persephone. Like, they’re great and everything, but they have the tend to be overdone. Other than that, I also didn’t want to read anything from authors I have read before, so this.. it had something I want. 

 

I was never familiar with Jason (I mean I was… but I was familiarized with Greek Mythology women more), so I wanted to see if he was a normal Greek Mythology ego guy, and uhm…yeah! He was! He was coward and selfish; thank GOD he isn’t the main character. 

 

Medea contains a lot of twists, so it kept me intrigued! That doesn’t happen to retellings a lot, so I was shocked of how bold this book is. It was definitely a delight and I would highly recommend!
