What I Liked:

I liked the mythology aspect of this book. Cupid in particular was one to watch. Cover art is lovely!

What I Didn't:

The first part of the book was hard to get into, but it picked up as I went along. I also expected a teen book from the cover, but the tone was more middle grade to preteen with a fairy tale sort of slant.

Overall:

This book is a good adventure, but the tone is almost middle grade to preteen which is why I placed the rating the way I did.  Once you get past the age expectation and put your mind into the story, it works. Not going to give any spoilers! If you enjoy an old fashioned fairy tale feel, give this book a try.
