this book is a beautiful read, with poetic and lyrical writing that captures the essence of the retell love story. It's a great choice for anyone who enjoys mythology and has a soft spot for these kinds of tales. True, I think it is like erotic way of saying this story. I won't be their cup of tea for everyone. You will be thinking, what the hell am I reading? This is about to define your own place in the world about finding your gender, find who you are. So at the beginning, I wasn't really combining to read this book and enjoy it, but after couple of chapters, I was really engaged to it, and I really enjoyed it. I think it's very good In the end,
Disclaimer that I won an ARC of “The Palace of Eros” in a Goodreads giveaway and also was in a workshop Caro De Robertis taught at USF (they are a lovely person in general as well as an amazing writer!). That did not affect my rating.
“The Palace of Eros” truly is a gorgeous and lyrical Psyche and Eros retelling. The narrative stays very true to the original myth, but the heart of this book is very much about women and nonbinary people finding their power and trusting in it.
Psyche’s story is grounded, especially in the beginning, in a well researched historical world, but the magical elements are intertwined perfectly. It’s a fable that also pushes against the boundaries of traditional fables and the story finds its place in that space perfectly.
Absolutely recommend!
