The writing and general adaptation of Eros and Psyche's story was lovely and romantic, but the attempts to weave Psyche into the Trojan war were so unnecessary? Literally did nothing for the plot (aside from allowing me to roll my eyes over the bizarre choice to change Penelope to Helen's sister instead of Clytemnestra, and making Psyche's father a brother of Menelaus and Agamemnon, etc) and just had me skimming the chapters instead. Would've been a 5-star otherwise!
