This confused me a bit because most of it was superfluous. There is a lot of talk about gods and their dynamic. The Kindly Ones (somewhere between Fae and Demon), Hermetic language, and Romana-Graecia period were all unique. While the vibe is definitely there, the story played out a long a much different line. I wish I would have read this sooner!! It is definitely Beauty and the Beast-esque. I’ve heard for awhile now about this book, but didn’t know if I would like it so it sat on my TBR for a loooong time…
