Clearly written (not with flowery prose, and with a more observational style to it), and avoids many of the pitfalls of independently published books I’ve come across. It’s an intriguing retelling of the Eros x Psyche myth, with the promise of some big twist coming that may be utterly unrelated to the source material, but that’s part of what makes me want to read more. The progress in the romantic relationship feels unearned when it switches from makeshift enemies-to-lovers, but it’s probably to ensure the pacing remains on track. Some really incisive remarks regarding the way women are treated in society, and how things for us currently are, somehow, better than they used to be, even if it doesn’t always feel like it now.
Not the best book I’ve read this year, nor the most exciting Greek mythology interpretation, but I’m definitely going to move on in the series.

To sum up with some favorite lines from the book/whet the appetite of anyone interested in reading it:
