Never Look Back by Lilliam Rivera
4.0

This is a modern retelling of the Orpheus and Eurydice Greek myth! I have heard of this story but didn’t really know too much about it going into the book and didn’t want to look anything up until after I finished! After reading the myth, I was really able to understand the book a little better! Part 1 of this book was a little slow for me and I had trouble getting through it until I hit part 2. Part 2 is so action packed and wild that I couldn’t put this book down! I really loved Eury and Pheus and their love for each other. I loved how Pheus did whatever he could to save Eury. I loved his passion for music and how he used it to help her. Overall, I really liked this one! I haven’t read very many Greek mythology retellings but I really enjoyed this one!! ⠀
