Short and sweet, a cute re-telling of how Eros and Psyche fell in love, or more so were shot in love.

Very well thought out story, which had me wanting to read more and more, before I knew it, I was at the end and wondering what the future held for this Greek God and this Human girl.

If you love greek mythology and you're looking for a quick read whilst you have a minute, then I recommend this one.

This was beautifully written I absolutely love Greek Mythology and retellings so I absolutely loved this. I loved how the chapters were short and I would find myself saying alright 1 more chapter then I will sleep to only find myself finishing the book instead of sleeping. Wonderful book I would recommend

4.25 stars.
Eros and Psyche are definitely one of my top couples in mythology. I loved everything about this little novella and I get that they're supposed to be short with no texture... but I needed way more of it. I needed more of their relationship before she saw him and more of their thoughts... I could easily read 200 more pages of this.

This was so lovely!
I loved this retelling, I ate it up. I only wish that it were longer, I would have loved more scenes with Psyche and Eros before the "everyone is dying" situation, you know?

Anyways I loved it.
Chefs kiss out of five.

Just great! But short:(, I just wanted to know MORE from the characters and how their relationship grows and begin to love each other 😭😭
I really loved this tale so I’m genially happy of how it was written and expressed, it was so lovely and cute. I just really liked it.

I know i said i was okay with the silly retelling but i did want to know the actual myth without all the extra pizzazz lol.

A cutie patootie of a short story. Some oddly placed modern language here and there but whatevs.

The writing on this one was dreadful, there was no character development at all, and the storyline leaps made were awful.
