Character
Loveable characters:
Yes
The audiobook was amazing, I loved the narrator!
I was not expecting a happy ending!! What a pleasant surprise!
Greek mythology has batshit crazy stories, so this one is no different.
I initially dnf’d right before part 2. Part 1 was difficult to get through, because of the story itself (it was dark and depressing) but also because the writing felt dragged.
It definetely picked up in Part 2 and +
The themes of identity, lust between “women” and the gray areas of queer experiences was well done!
I’m glad I picked it back up and was able to see Psyche’s growth and Eros’ journey.
