Good, not great, but still worth reading. I really enjoyed the further exploration of Olympus politics which is what brought me back to this series. Eros and Psyche are likeable characters, especially Eros, even if they are a bit straight forward archetypes. Katee Robert’s writing is at times too simplistic and they have a tendency to repeatedly beat points over your head unnecessarily, rather than writing them in a way that feels natural. There’s also some places where there’s excessive or unnecessary detail such as every outfit a character wears, and every single thing they do including the car that gets them from point A to B. Overall, a compelling story with good fat representation that I think could’ve been crafted a bit better. I’ll continue with the series because Robert’s world building and concept of the city of Olympus and it’s politics is fascinating and well done.

Meh. This seemed to just be the first book all over again but with different names. it really just did not meet expectations and I will suggest only reading the first one, (which in my opinion was better ) and save time by reading something else on your TBR.

Such an interesting take on the structure and workings of a society based on Greek mythology. More importantly, I really enjoyed Psyche and Eros as main characters. They really shined and really grew into themselves and their strengths as the book progressed.

In general, Psyche does bring up past bullying and issues of fatphobia and body shaming. In addition, where there aren't explicitly described kinks in this book, it is still just as graphic sexual content as the first.

Psyche does have to treat an injury that Eros has obtained on one of his jobs for his mother and it is described. In addition, some men try and shoot Psyche while she hides behind a barrier. It is a short scene. As a hitman/fixer for his mother, Eros does discuss and contemplates the murders he's had to commit for his mother and how her treatment of him has affected his perspective on these actions.
