This book was such an amazing retelling of this myth. This touched upon so many themes about women being seen as objects and how they have so much more power than men give them credit for, but also this examined the idea of gender as a construct. This book did a really great job of discussing the idea that gender is not two choices, and that everyone is valuable and okay even if they don’t fit into the two boxes of gender that society tends to make us want to fit into. More than anyone, this book was about a love so pure and how love really is the most profound and beautiful thing in this world. I loved this book.
