I loved that the author took liberties and adapted from other Greek and Roman versions to make something of her own while staying true to the larger and more well known elements of the pairing.
I remember this pair from Ovid's brief mention in Metamorphosis as well as a brief chapter in another book but even then it was always a mention of and not an entire book like what McNamara provided.
In a few opening chapters told in alternating perspectives from Eros and Psyche, she managed to create individual voices and fleshed out characterizations not just for the main two characters but the additional cast as well on top of using history to build out the world they live in. Fantastic debut book and I can't wait to see what she writes about next!
