About this listen
'A riotous adventure, populated by a cast of vivid, glittering characters' JENNIFER SAINT
'An enthralling tale of adventure, romance, and star-crossed lovers' SUE LYNN TANN
THE GOD OF LOVE HAS FINALLY MET HIS MATCH...
Born into an era of heroes, a prophecy claims that Psyche - Princess of Mycenae - will defeat a monster feared even by the gods themselves. Rebelling against society's traditions, she spends her youth mastering blade and bow, preparing to fulfil her destiny.
But she is soon caught up in powers beyond her control, when the jealous Aphrodite sends the God of Desire, Eros, to deliver a fatal love-curse. The last thing Eros wants is to become involved in the chaos of the mortal world, but when he is pricked by the very arrow intended for Psyche, he is doomed to love a woman who will be torn from him the moment their eyes meet.
Thrown together by fate, headstrong Psyche and world-weary Eros will face challenges greater than they could have ever imagined. And as the Trojan War begins and the whole of the heavens try to keep them apart, will they find their way back to each other before it's too late?
A stunning, exciting and hotly-anticipated feminist retelling of one of the greatest love stories in Greek mythology. Luna McNamara's exquisitely written debut will appeal to fans of Madeline Miller, Jennifer Saint and Susan Stokes-Chapman.

But the narrators didn’t quite fit in my opinion. Sometimes Psyche’s voice had really nice narration but overall I didn’t like the performance.
Plot wise there were small plot holes that felt like nails on chalkboard when it happened (I’m very critical about plotholes and I’m very sensitive to them). The were very few tho, and I think most people won’t really notice them unless there’s a very critical eye
It felt like a nice romantic story, sometimes almost falling into fanfiction but not quite there.
Quite romantic take on myths
