I honestly don't know how many stars to give it, so I'll settle on 3. I thought this was certainly a book.
I adore Greek myth, Eros and Psyche being one of my favorite myths. If I had not gone in seeing some reviews about it being 'fanfic-y' and being warned to leave what you know about Greek Myth at the door, I would have not enjoyed this /at all/. But Luna McNamara has beautiful prose and the book is very well written, I enjoyed the actual writing and the connections she makes between myths to make it all feel more connected and full.

However there is an overuse of 'considered' for some reason. 'He stopped to consider me' 'Like a lioness considering her next meal' stuff like that. I thought it was weird, but I think a lot of author's have something like.

I struggled to connect with this version of Psyche, now Warrior Princess and not like other girls. Mostly because I absolutely detest the 'I'm not like other girls, I'm above marriage and women's business' character trait. It drives me absolute wild. It's mostly non offensive, but when it's there /it's there'. Psyche demeans her cousin for having an interest in boys, and the wording of scenes with other human women divorces herself from the others. I just didn't love the change for youngest princess of three, who was lonely and isolate despite those who adored her to Warrior Princess Only Child.

I liked Eros far more, expect when he was not comminuting. Maybe, just maybe, before sending your wife to the underworld; MAKE A PLAN and don't just assume she has one. Psyche's plan was assuming Eros had a plan. Made me roll my eyes real bad. I did appreciate he acknowledged that he really should have been completely honest with Psyche. He's not the silly, tricky and vaguely horny Eros you'd expect, he's much softer, more contained character who sees the effects of his domain and it weighs heavily on him.

I listened to the audio book, I'd honestly recommend listening to it more than reading it.
