I started reading this book taking it for what it was- the story of Psyche and Cupid retold from Orual's point of view. I had read reviews of it prior but wanted to remained unbiased as I read it.

It is interesting to look at this story through Christian eyes. I myself am a Christian but I thought it was such a curious story to use to talk about Christ. It was truly beautiful but it wasn't until the very end that I felt deeply overwhelmed. Orual's change was heartbreaking (and beautiful) and something I think we have all felt at one time or another when facing God or our beliefs. Though this story hasn't moved me as other reads it is profound and unique and I must agree is one of Lewis' best work. (I cannot say that it is THE best as I haven't read everything yet.)

If you're looking for a story strictly about Cupid and Psyche you will not find it. They are mentioned in passing and you should keep that in mind if you are looking to see more of them.
