Cupid: A Tale of Love and Desire by Julius Lester

4.0

I really enjoyed reading an in-depth look at the romance between Pcyche and Cupid that explained why he ran off instead of staying with her and how she felt at being compared to Venus.

This is actually a story that is quiet new to me so reading this retelling was so great. It wasn’t a story like Ariadne or the Song of Achilles, it just told the story of Cupid and Psyche, it didn’t embellish or feel in anyway atmospheric.
