I like to dabble in Greek mythology books to take a break from Fantasy and Sci-Fi and found that Psyche and Eros was refreshing. Luna McNamara nailed the dichotomy of the dual narrative, one side starting as a matter-of-fact god, the other an ambitious and headstrong princess. I enjoyed how easy it was to read, but being crammed into a fairly short book meant some interesting parts of the story were rushed. But I love how it introduces so many of the other characters from popular Greek mythology books (if you're a fan of The Song of Achilles like me, you'll be excited to see Achilles and Patroclus!). This book gave me great ideas for what I want to read next in the genre.

An entertaining read especially if you don't know the story of Eros and Psyche, but the author name drops nearly every famous mythological hero/warrior in Greek mythology in the same story which makes it a mess of characters and a weird timeline. If you don't care about the accuracy of who knew who in Greek mythology, it's fine.

This was unbelievably good! I devoured it in a few hours, oh my word. I absolutely love a good Greek Mythology story especially if they're romance. I don't know the original myth but I think the author did the story really well. I absolutely loved both Eros and Psyche, what amazing characters and their story was gorgeous. Ugh, absolutely LOVED it ❤️❤️
