I thought this book was really well done. As opposed to the first book, I was really hooked by the plot because the author was able to create a new story.
Psyche was an awesome character and I liked how her relationship with Eros evolved. This book had a bigger exploration into family dynamics and body image which made me connect more with the characters.
The ending scene was also so sweet especiallywhen Hades and Eros talked and connected because neither of them have families.
This series has awesome female characters and I'm excited to keep reading.

Wholly different from Neon Gods with some linguistic similarities but no less enjoyable. I have a strong pull toward Hades and Persephone for some unknown reason but I really liked this Psyche and Eros retelling. Psyche is stunning in this novel and made me want to be her. The spice was less shocking than the first novel but no less entertaining.
