Good writing and an inventive take on a mythological story. Overall, I really enjoyed the prose, which leans a bit flowery. but not to the point of being annoying. If there is a mythological retelling out there, I am likely going to read it, and this ranks pretty highly in the list of re-tellings I have come across.

I truly do love a good Greek retelling. I also love when Greek retellings flip the story on its head and give it a new perspective, which is exactly what this book did. I think it is so interesting to flip the genders of Orpheus and Euridice, given what their myths are about. This was truly a clever tale, and my hungry eyes devoured it right up.
