One of the best mythological retelling I’ve ever read! Eros and Psyche have broken the mold on what we’d expect. Their story is compelling and their evolution through their fears and tribulations is done so well. How their story ties to what many of us face in the current climate was poignant and in a way reassuring to know we can get through this as others have for millennia. This book is wonderfully written and I look forward to reading future books from the author.
My favorite quote is at the end of the book and I felt it to my very core… “Every woman’s path is cursed as long as the laws are bent on our diminishment. The laws of men, the laws of gods. They curse us, and I want to break them all.”
