I picked this up thinking it was either going to be a retelling or a trashy monster romance but it surprised me. It was both and neither of those things and something so much more. Post apocalypse, Greek mythology, fairy tale, exploration of grief, and coming to terms with one's true self all wrapped up into one. This is probably one of this best books I've read in 2023. I feel like in a post covid world this book just hits differently than if it had been published only a few years prior.
