This is the first book where I stopped reading and stared at the wall for 10 minutes in silent evisceration at the climax of the book. I generally knew the story of Psyche and Eros so I knew it was coming but I still sat there aghast with my heart in pieces for these characters. I am in love with how the style of writing feels so ethereal and like I’m being told an ancient folktale straight from the source.
