The Palace of Eros by Caro De Robertis

4.0

*I received a copy from Netgalley* 

This was really enjoyable. I love a good Greek mythology retelling, and this definitely is a hit! 

The prose was more lyrical than I usually go for, but it was done very well! It wasn’t overdone, and it was easy to follow along. 

My only complaint with this, which I know is done intentionally, was using ‘sex’ to describe the genitals of the characters rather than using other words. It’s a personal preference that I don’t want genitals in books to be referred to as ‘sex’, but in this case, I see why it was used (the prose style). 

Overall, this was a great Greek mythology retelling that I recommend!!
