  The characters were interesting at first, but once the curse took effect they became ignorant? It was hard to suspend my disbelief with this one. Psyche started out headstrong and refusing the circumstance normal for women, but then she falls into Eros’ lap and naively believes him to be her husband. Not only that but is completely okay with not knowing who he is or seeing his face. Only when she gets pregnant does she start to question things. Eros is a god but has the emotional maturity and intelligence of a teenage boy. I love how he refuses to give Psyche real answers and then sends her to run errands. Psyche’s parents didn’t seem to care at all that she ran off and married someone they didn’t know. But then later, the author was like, “oh crap that doesn’t make sense”. Oops, parents are dead. Can we also talk about that first and only sex scene? It felt as lifeless as a dead fish. The parts I enjoyed the most was when Psyche finally took action and looked upon Eros’ face. At least at that point, they both were having to pay the consequences for being so dumb. I enjoyed reading about all the other gods/goddesses that I have learned from Greek mythology and other stories. All in all, the writing felt bland and the characters became annoying.
