I love the retelling of the stories of the Greek Gods and Goddesses. The love of Eros and Psyche is so beautiful and dramatic and itโ€™s amazing how they fought so hard for each other.

I feel like the characters did not grow from the beginning to the end of the book. They just are "together" now. That's the only difference. No growth of character or anything. There was reflection but the characters felt so similar to their starting points.

I've always wanted to read a Psyche and Eros retelling, since I fell in love with the myth when I was younger. It is honestly one of my favourite myths. 
I thought that this was a great retelling and couldn't put this book down. 
A great feminist take on this classic myth. Blended with the stories of a few other heroes and gods. I loved the romance, the adventure and the stakes shown in this story. A must read Greek myth retelling ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿ›
