4.5
This book is so fast-paced and the world-building (while faulty) is very easy to follow considering that's not really the point of her books as I'm starting to be aware. 😅 I LOVE Pysche! She's one of the few characters in a book that I really related to. Sometimes she would literally say the things that I would be thinking. I love the relationship she and her sisters have and it was great to see their dynamic again in this book. I really hope each individual sister gets their book, especially Calypso. Love her too! And honestly, Eros was such a delight as well. I feel like they balance each other out so nicely. I love how he would literally travel to the ends of the Earth for her and even before they admitted their feelings for one another he was still concerned with keeping her (and her family) safe. And I adored his friendship with Helen! (also love how consent and condom usage was prioritized in this book
Now as much as I love this couple, I honestly do feel like Hermes stole the show in this book. I LOVE her! I really really REALLY hope she gets her own book!
Honestly, this book was creeping up to be a 5 ⭐, but there were a few discrepancies that bothered me.
And this relates to the main reason I gave this 4.5 instead of 5 ⭐. I felt like the ending was a bit rushed. The main plot of Aphrodite having Psyche killed was dealt with, but I feel like the aftermath of what happened was just brushed through with a few sentences. Like Helen's sister being the newly appointed Aphrodite is a big deal considering her other brother is already Zeus. The power imbalance will be crazy! I hope that's expanded upon in the next book.
And also I wish we got to see more of Eros and Perseus/Zeus's friendship. I feel like we were TOLD and not SHOWN that they used to be very great friends which in my opinion made their interaction of Eros asking for "Zues"/Perseus's help less impactful.
i also so wish we got a little more context as to how Eros became his mother's wepaon.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to continue on with the series!
