Medea

"A powerful protagonist whose transformation unfolds amidst a backdrop of gods, monsters, and the complexities of love, and one whom you really deeply root for from cover to cover." ~ Readers' Favorite

"The setting leaps off the page, the characters are just familiar enough that it feels like you're glimpsing inside what could have been-sort of a 'there's the story you've been told, but now here's what really happened'-and the seeming effortlessness of it speaks to Taylor's skill. Pulling that feel off is freaking difficult, and it's done damned well here." ~ 'Nathan Burgoyne, LAMBDA award-nominated author

"Medea by JJ Taylor has all the qualities of a best-seller. The author's ability to infuse the nectar of life into archaic words turns crumbling ruins into shining temples, wind-blown ashes into born-again human bones, and inevitable death into fabled glory. This is the story of Medea depicted as never before." ~ Queer Literary Loft

"Taylor nails it with their storytelling - the world they create is so vivid, drawing me into the sights, sounds and feelings of the characters. It's a captivating read that I wasn't ready to finish. " ~ Laurie Aycock, librarian

"Beautifully written with the mythology interwoven with the angst and emotions of a real woman, I can't recommend this highly enough." ~ E.V. Bancroft, GCLS award-winning author
