Medea

Kristin Atherton’s narration in 'Medea' is nothing short of captivating. Her deep, resonant voice perfectly conveys the range of Medea's emotions, from the innocence of childhood to the depths of her vengeful rage. The pacing is impeccable, allowing each chapter to build upon the last with a sense of urgency that keeps listeners engaged until the very end. Hewlett’s narrative choices, particularly in how she handles Medea’s transformation, add layers of complexity and nuance. However, at times, the intensity can feel slightly overwhelming, potentially making some sections harder to digest. Despite this, 'Medea' remains a must-listen for anyone intrigued by mythological retellings or stories of personal struggle and redemption.
