I think when you start reading a myth retelling you have to go into it reminding yourself that the whole genre is one really really really mixed bag.
this book WAS very light (I felt) but seemed to really want to be this deeper, dark thing. but I think it’s hard to accomplish that when your protagonist is busy getting herself off by humping a fig tree.
the palace of eros was FINE and I enjoyed reading it but it was super preachy even to me and I don’t anticipate ever reading it again
