Psyche and eros
Thanks to Ann at Random Things Book Tours for the arc
This was a highly bouncy tale that was a lot of pleasure to read.
There is a healthy dose of historical detail and a generous interpretation of ancient sources.
This is the book for you if you want a captivating tale that neatly incorporates Greek myth while still retaining its own flair and individuality. I didn't get the impression that this book was trying to be an exact replica of the original story; instead, it took its own unique journey, preserving enough threads of Greek mythology to feel grounded while also becoming fascinating and exciting.
I thought the characterisation in this novel was excellent: we were told just enough about each character to keep us engaged without getting bogged down in personal information. The two points of view were quite well written, with both characters' voices sounding distinct and constant throughout.
