The plot itself is fast-paced, with action and political intrigue mixed into the romance.
I understood everything I needed to for the plot.
That said, it wasn’t vague enough to bother. The world-building is slightly expanded on from Neon Gods, but it’s still fairly vague. They begin as enemies, forced into a marriage of convenience, and I loved watching them fall for each other. Eros is Aphrodite’s fixer, forced to do her dirty work, and believes himself to be a monster. Psyche is a plus-sized social media influencer, who understands how to play Olympus’s power games while still remaining a good person in her heart. The characters are perhaps my favorite part. I have always been a fan of the myth of Eros and Psyche, so I was excited to see Katee Robert’s interpretation, and I ended up really loving it. I finished this book in one day, it was so addictive.Įlectric Idol takes place in the same world as Neon Gods, this time following Persephone’s sister Psyche, and Aphrodite’s son Eros. When Aphrodite sends Eros after Psyche’s heart, he and Psyche need to find a way for both of them to survive the encounter, and everything that comes after. Psyche is Demeter’s daughter and the current target of Aphrodite’s anger. Eros is Aphrodite’s fixer, there to get rid of anyone she deems a problem. Content Warning: violence, death (mention), fatphobia, child abuse //Įlectric Idol is a retelling of the story of Psyche and Eros, in a modern setting.
