I couldn't put down this unique Eurydice and Orpheus retelling. I really enjoyed the short chapters that alternated between third/first person POV and different timelines. The overall voice of the storytelling had just the right amount of humor as well. There was also so much queer rep!
The only drawback for me was that sometimes I noticed a few inconsistencies and a lot of weird spelling errors. I know the book is being redistributed by a new publisher so I wonder if they'll have fixed those errors before publication. Overall it wasn't enough to detract too much from my enjoyment of the story and I'd still recommend this to anyone interesting in mythology retellings.
