Publisher's summary

Sorceress, Princess of Colchis, Securer of the Golden Fleece.

Medea - her very name is a byword for infamy. Legend has it that she murdered her own children for revenge.

But love in Ancient Greece was often a dangerous game; and legends are not always what they seem.

Medea, devoted wife of Jason, was also a loving mother, a loyal friend of Herakles and a brave adventurer with the Argonauts.

A woman both betrayer and betrayed, the real story of Medea is strange, sensual and heroic.

Can’t finish

I’m a fan of Greek mythology & while I’ve read multiple versions of every myth, I’ve never heard someone claim that Hera was the protector of one of Zeus’s children, *especially* not Heracles. But I could have gotten past that if the story wasn’t such a slog! The Nauplios chapters were boring, and it’s all going on for just so long without pulling me in. I’m at the halfway point and I just can’t keep going.

Life is too short to suffer through such a boring read.

So good

This is a really enjoyable story. Despite the fact it's based in ancient Greece, it's very human and relatable. I can't wait to read the third book in the series. Highly recommend Cassandra too.

Blahhh

I would never have thought that the story of Medea could be so boring. This book doesn't do the tale justice. Disappointing
