The Palace of Eros by Caro De Robertis

Perfect for fans of Circe and Black Sun, this bold and subversive feminist retelling of the Greek myth of Psyche and Eros explores the power of queer joy and freedom.

Young, headstrong Psyche has captured the eyes of every suitor in town and far beyond with her tempestuous beauty, which has made her irresistible as a woman yet undesirable as a wife. Secretly, she longs for a life away from the expectations and demands of men. When her father realizes that the future of his family and town will be forever cursed unless he appeases an enraged Aphrodite, he follows the orders of the Oracle, tying Psyche to a rock to be ravaged by a monstrous husband. And yet a monster never arrives.

When Eros, nonbinary deity of desire, sees Psyche, she cannot fulfill her promise to her mother Aphrodite to destroy the mortal young woman. Instead, Eros devises a plan to sweep Psyche away to an idyllic palace, hidden from the prying eyes of Aphrodite, Zeus, and the outside world. There, against the dire dictates of Olympus, Eros and Psyche fall in love. Each night, Eros visits Psyche under the cover of impenetrable darkness, where they both experience untold passion and love. But each morning, Eros flies away before light comes to break the spell of the palace that keeps them safe.

Before long, Psyche’s nights spent in pleasure turn to days filled with doubts, as she grapples with the cost of secrecy and the complexities of freedom and desire. Restless and spurred by her sisters to reveal Eros’s true nature, she breaks her trust and forces a reckoning that tests them both—and transforms the very heavens.

Told in bold and sparkling prose from “a brilliant and luminous writer” (Madeline Miller, New York Times bestselling author), The Palace of Eros transports us to a magical world imbued by divine forces as well as everyday realities, where palaces glitter with magic even as ordinary people fight for freedom in a society that fears the unknown.

Synopsis

Young, headstrong Psyche has captured the eyes of every suitor in town and far beyond with her tempestuous beauty, which has made her irresistible as a woman yet undesirable as a wife. Secretly, she longs for a life away from the expectations and demands of men.

And yet a monster never arrives.

When Eros, nonbinary deity of desire, sees Psyche, she cannot fulfill her promise to her mother Aphrodite to destroy the mortal young woman. Instead, Eros devises a plan to sweep Psyche away to an idyllic palace, hidden from the prying eyes of Aphrodite, Zeus, and the outside world. There, against the dire dictates of Olympus, Eros and Psyche fall in love. Each night, Eros visits Psyche under the cover of impenetrable darkness, where they both experience untold passion and love. But each morning, Eros flies away before light comes to break the spell of the palace that keeps them safe.

Before long, Psyche’s nights spent in pleasure turn to days filled with doubts, as she grapples with the cost of secrecy and the complexities of freedom and desire. Restless and spurred by her sisters to reveal Eros’s true nature, she breaks her trust and forces a reckoning that tests them both—and transforms the very heavens.

Review

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC!

From the start, this book does not flinch away from depicting the brutal misogyny of the time period. Psyche's throngs of suitors are cast into a new light, as this book shows the horrors of being desired by men, as well as the way marriage was viewed during this time.

Plot-wise this book follows pretty closely with the plot of the original myth, although a lot more time is spent exploring Psych's stay in the titular Palace of Eros. This was definitely the right choice to make as it gives the romance time to blossom, as well as allows time to develop Psyche's character. Psyche comes into her own during this time, as Psyche and Eros explore the meaning of womanhood and queerness (among other things😏).

I think the author does a good job of exploring the power imbalance between Psyche and Eros, although it's hard to not be aware that whatever agency Psyche has is only because a goddess allows her that. While their relationship isn't perfect, they do work on it and (mostly) resolve all of their problems by the end of the book.

Eros doesn't get as much character development as Psyche. This is fine, because I think this is much more Psyche's story than Eros'. But there are still certain elements I wish had been explored, mainly Eros' use of her powers. Throughout this book, Eros is kind of flippant about the way to uses her arrows to make people fall in love. Although she expresses regret about how she inadvertently ruined Daphne's life, she doesn't show much remorse or contemplation about any other people's lives she affected. The web of power is something Eros contemplates quite a lot, but she seems to cast herself in the role of being powerless to the whims of Zeus, while failing to recognise or address her own power.

I know I said earlier that the story focusing on Psyche living in the palace was a good choice, but it also results in less time spent on depicting Psyche's trials. I stand by this opinion, but this sort of results in the trials being kind of... boring. The original myth focuses much more on the events of the trials as Psyche proving her love for Eros, but in this book Psyche chooses to undergo the trials as a way to forge peace with Aphrodite. This was an interesting choice to make narratively, but ultimately lowers the stakes, especially since Aphrodite isn't even actively bothered with Psyche anymore.

Speaking of Aphrodite, I feel like her depiction was kind of shallow. She's not portrayed as a very complex character, aside from being a jealous goddess. I appreciate that the author shows how much she loves and cares for Eros, but I feel like she could have been explored a lot more.

I have always appreciated how special the myth of Psyche and Eros is, in the way that Psyche is one of few female Greek heroes, and also one of few Greek heroes who gets a happy ending. I think this novel captures the essence of the original myth, as well as expands on it in new and interesting ways.

Ultimately, while there are certain aspects of this book that I wish there could have been more of, the themes that the author chooses to explore, they do an excellent job of.

Cantoras by Caro De Robertis

"She looked out at the landscape, now cloaked in the last dregs of twilight. A beauty she could never get used to, never wanted to get used to, though she longed to know it in every light and mood."

found this on the dedications page in my library book and now I’m sobbing

The Palace of Eros - Caro De Robertis

[lydiacatfish]

3, 5, 8, 17, and 22!

So many!

3. What were your top five books of the year?

5. Barda by Ngozi Ukazu

4. Princess Floralinda and the Forty-Flight Tower by Tamsyn Muir (not bad. Just short!)

3. The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman

2. We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer

1. We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson (I read a lot of Shirley this year)

5. Great minds think alike... horror!! Followed by romance probably lol

8. Did you meet any of your reading goals? Which ones?

Initially my goal was to read 20, then 25, then 30. As long as I finish one book by the end of the year (planning on Time War) then I'll have done it!

Also my library has a Book Bingo where you follow different suggestions in a bingo format so I only have one left on that. The theme is "Featuring Futuristic Elements" which is why I chose Time War.

17. Did any books surprise you with how good they were?

Yes! The Palace of Eros by Caro de Robertis, and some of the short stories in Come Along With Me by Shirley Jackson. Shoutout to The Visit which has haunted me for months.

22. What’s the longest book you read?

The Witching Hour by Anne Rice apparently clocks in at 1207 pages but it felt like a million billion. What a slog. Not my favorite. Will not be reading the sequels.

[reveriesofawriter]

1, 35, 47 for the bookworm asks!

1 - the best book I've read so far this year - the palace of eros by caro de robertis, probably tied with the pairing by casey mcquiston, both queer and made me feel a lot of things

35 - least favorite trope in my favorite genre - if I'm saying romance is the genre then I will kind of go out of my way to not read accidental pregnancy stories bc the ones I've read in the past feel like they treat the baby like a pawn or at best like some kind of miracle cure for a relationship that wouldn't have worked otherwise, also not a huge fan of a love triangle where it's not a closed triangle like give me queer and messy or don't even bother

47 - last 3 books I read - odd spirits by s.t. gibson (almost 5 stars, I love this universe I can't wait for the rest of the series), the nightmare before kissmas by sara raasch (again almost 5 stars, silly lil holiday romcom where the prince of xmas falls in love w the prince of halloween), and swordcrossed by freya marske (ultimately gave it 4 stars but it was more like the first third gets 2 stars the middle third gets 3.5 stars and the last third gets 5 stars, I had complex feelings about it clearly) also you didn't ask but I'm currently reading triple sec by tj alexander, and disney high by ashley spencer

The Palace of Eros: A Novel by Caro De Robertis 

US pub date - 8/13/24

The writing is gorgeous. I fell deep into this story, read it over a few days, and have thought about it since. 

A beautiful retelling of Eros and Psyche, this one was written with such a voice that simply flows. I loved the messages this contained. 

Despite unfortunately finding the final part and ending oddly flat, I still enjoyed this one.

Thank you to Atria/Primero Sueno Press and NetGalley for the DRC

2, 3, and 16 for the book ask!!

lmao nooo all of these have already been answered but some of them i can answer twice

2. Did you reread anything? What?

orphan monster spy/devil darling spy by matt killeen (both better than i remembered!! give them to the teen girl in your life who is weirdly fixated on wwii) and seminal nedlittle text cassandra at the wedding by dorothy baker i will not stop until i get you guys to read cassandra at the wedding

3. What were your top five books of the year?

already answered but here are more of my top 10

the weight of ink by rachel kadish [review]

the sweetness of water by nathan harris [review]

medical apartheid: the dark history of medical experimentation on black americans from colonial times to the present by harriet t. washington

16. What is the most over-hyped book you read this year?

this is going to be very specific but racing hummingbirds by jeannan verlee. if you were on tumblr from approximately 2011-2015 then you saw lessons for loving a prophet EVERYWHERE and since that one poem is so good one would expect that the rest of the collection would be as good and it is NOT. it is in fact deeply, deeply mid. so this was a case of me overhyping a book for myself.
