I loved Psyche’s journey, and how she realizes in the end that her original idea of a ‘hero’ as being someone who slayed indiscriminately wasn’t what she wanted to be and in the end, being the goddess of souls, she cares for the dead, listening to their worries and comforting them the best she can and actually helping the living, soothing wounds and hungry bellies.
Other than that, there wasn’t much to love, oddly enough this didn’t feel like a romance to me, even though people fall in love (off page) and have a HEA.
I understand that this is more of a re-imagining than a retelling as it varies a lot from the myth. I feel that this is more for those that need an introduction to Greek myths? And want it in an easy to digest form. Knowing all the ways it departs from the original, I definitely do not recommend this to people who love the Greek myths as is.
Also Aphrodite is the main villain and made into an absolute one sided caricature.
