I always feel a little uncertain about changes to mythology in retellings and this book is no exception (Psyche the princess of Mycenae & her father its king instead of Agamemnon, Psyche raised as a warrior, Psyche somehow Clytemnestra's niece but I think I accidentally glossed over the part where that's explained?). Like, I get the need to reshape existing mythology to fit a modern story, but I think changing such significant 'facts' about the mythology just makes it too separate for me. At this point just worldbuild your own tale inspired by Psyche and Eros y'know? Hopefully I'm not alone in thinking that 😭
Willing to give this a chance anyways, I actually really like the writing so far and especially quite like Eros's perspective!
