Thanks to Atria Books for the free copy of this book.

 - THE PALACE OF EROS is maybe one of the queerest books I’ve ever read, and I was enraptured by it.
- This is very much a character-driven vibes book, with lots of long conversations (and lots of very spicy scenes). But I found the ruminations on freedom, desire, womanhood, and more to be quite compelling.
- I also love a retelling that casts Zeus as the rampaging horrorshow that he was.
