There is no reason why I shouldn't give this  5 stars. I loved the "version" of the Greek mythology used, since it made everything make more sense at the end. It didn't feel like it was "forced". Even though I read it in Spanish, it was well written. The translation was kinda weird since I guess it was Spanish from Spain and I'm Latina, which caused  some words and phrases to feel off for me, but I still enjoyed it. Such a beautiful relationship. Almost no spice and I appreciated that. I loved it.
