I think that Psyche is pretty good plus size representation in that she is very comfortable in her sexuality (which is pretty rare for plus size characters) but also has realistic insecurities about her body. I also thought that Eros’ character arc was fantastic and I hope we get to see him in future books really healing from the trauma he’s been put through. Aphrodite is a formidable villain for the most part although she gets a little pantomime-esque towards the end of the book. And I enjoyed the inclusion of familiar faces from Neon Gods and the introduction of some new characters who will get the spotlight in future books.
The smut is still a little cringey, but I did find it to be an improvement from the previous book (although that may be because there is either somewhat less smut or it’s somewhat more tame). I also found the ending to be kind of similar to the ending of Neon Gods?? I just hope that the rest of the books don’t end in the couple both intending to sacrifice themselves in order to resolve a political crisis without telling the other.
Overall, I enjoyed this book and I look forward to seeing where the next instalment takes us!

The ending was excellent. I didn't see it coming at first, but once I knew what was happening, I watched it unfold with glee.

This is also my first forced marriage book. A little bit of like possessiveness that I didn’t love but wasn’t horrible compared to other books.
Loved Psyce as a character. Loved the epilogue and how it was from Eros’ perspective, it was nice to see his softer side finally. That epilogue really added a lot, I find most epilogues don’t but this one was better with the epilogue.
I’m off to read the first in the series now because it wasn’t available before so I read this one first.
