A Song for Ella Grey by David Almond
5.0

I got this book from the publisher on NetGalley in exchange of an honest review.

This book is a retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice's romance, I happen to love greek mythology and when I realized this book was a modern twist on this story I inmediately got very excited.

This book is seen through a third person's POV and it is to me a refreshing change. First person books are sometimes lacking the intensity of others but the main characters.

As the story develops we have this incredible moments of intesity where I just couldn't put the book down. I got so incredibly touched by some of the passages in this book that it brought me to actual tears.

Since I started I knew that it was going to be a tragedy, however this didn't stop me from getting attached to the characters and heartbroken over the ending.

I adored this book. 4.5 stars for me.
