Thank you NetGalley and Atria for the eARC of this book. I ended up reading a physical ARC copy of it. All thoughts are my own. I thought this was a good Greek retelling. I will say that this book is written differently then most books I've read before. That is NOT a bad thing, but I think needs to be taken into consideration, this is not written in a "traditional" way. Honestly I think it's better for it. I feel like it helps me get to know both Psyche and Eros better, and get to relate to them easier. This author is beautiful with their words, and I think this book deserves more hype. I definitely recommend this book.
