ambershelf 's review for:
The Palace of Eros
by Caro De Robertis
3.75/5 finished copy gifted by the publisher
I really enjoyed this sapphic retelling of Greek myth full of tension and spice. I’m not familiar with the Eros and Psyche, but feel like the author did a great job crafting an intriguing story. There are lots of references to other Greek gods and myths that flew over my head a bit; it didn’t take away the enjoyment but I could tell I’m missing context when stories about other gods and how they connect the the main storyline are mentioned.
The themes of gender fluidity and sexuality is the most fascinating thread for me!
