This is a soft dnf @ 10%. I am intrigued to see how it goes, but currently, I don’t want to pick this up at all. I also feel like it might be better if I read the ebook or physical copy instead
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!!
