lumincsity 's review for:
The Palace of Eros
by Caro De Robertis
I expected more from this book and was a bit disappointed when it didn't reach my expectations. I love Greek mythology, so I was quite excited to read a retelling of Eros and Psyche.
It started of quite well and I was hooked, but then, around the middle, it got quite repetitive. It felt like the author had a word count to reach since I felt like I was reading about the same scene over and over again. This made reading the book for me a bit boring. However, I did like the final part even though it was a little rushed.
Another thing I liked was the relationship between Eros and Psyche (thank god, because that's what the book is about). They had a lot of beautifully written scenes, but again, a lot of repetitive scenes.
Overall, I had fun reading this, but it sadly didn't hit the way I thought it would.
Thank you, NetGalley, for letting me read this ARC in exchange for an honest review
