## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great read, great book
  

*by A***T on Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2017*

Vann's beautiful and intense language creates a formal distance that successfully carries the reader into a realm of myth while the story itself portrays its very human characters with a demystifying precision. This is a bloody, unflinching account of Medea's story, extreme because she is, and because her circumstances are--a brilliant, elementally fierce woman born into a world that can only see her as a subordinate, when it sees her at all. She embodies a furious compulsion to assert what's denied her. Why should the seemingly arbitrary rules of mortal deification bend to avoid her? Vann's Medea is relatable, almost feels like a modern character but without a hint of anachronism--modern because we can believe we understand her. The world she lives in is a meticulously rendered antiquity that lives and breathes and creaks like the galleys in which much of the action takes place. A great book, wondrous and frightening.

    Vivid, Dark, and Utterly Enchanting
  

*by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2019*

This book was absolutely riveting - I couldn't put it down. Reading the classic tale of Medea as she flees from her father after having committed an atrocious act told from her perspective was incredible. Every chapter is a moving, living, breathing painting. The author's word choices and characterizations are so vivid you can taste them. Some of the chapters made me nauseous. Some chapters brought tears to my eyes. I can't remember the last time I was so moved by a story I already knew. I cannot recommend this book more highly. It's truly a wonderful read.

    LOVE THIS BOOK
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2020*

As a classics student and enthusiast, I absolutely loved this book. The prose is intentionally alienating- it reads like the thoughts of a foreigner thinking in English. Medea is wonderfully depicted. I read this book over the course of two days, which is unusual for me, but this one is a serious page turner.
