Good lord, the illustrations. THE ILLUSTRATIONS. So lovely, irreverent, playful, and in moments, surprisingly sophisticated. There is a spread in this volume between Psyche and Eros and the way she uses color to show light and create an intimate conversation between two people in bed was just so well done. I love comic art that doesn't take its self too seriously and it still excellent. The color is a character here.

The story line is also adult and complex enough to keep me engaged in yet another greek god retelling. I love these. Smythe is fantastic.
