5/28/2023 0 Comments Cs lewis cupid and psycheWhen she picked up a toad – she had the strangest and, I thought, unchanciest love for all manner of brutes – the toad became beautiful…I wanted to be a wife so that I could have been her real mother. When she trod on mud, the mud was beautiful when she ran in the rain, the rain was silver. Indeed, when you looked at her you believed, for a moment, that they had not missed it. As the Fox delighted to say, she was “according to nature” what every woman, or even every thing, ought to have been and meant to be, but had missed by some trip of chance. It seemed the most natural thing in the world. While she was with you, you were not astonished. It was beauty that did not astonish you till afterwards when you had gone out of sight of her and reflected on it. Of Psyche’s beauty – at every age the beauty proper to that age – there is only this to be said, that there were no two opinions about it, from man or woman, once she had been seen. I am reading this as part of the ‘Read-a-Myth’ challenge hosted by Jo from ‘Bibliojunkie’ and Bina from ‘If You Can Read This’. It is a retelling of the love story of Psyche and Cupid. A beautiful passage from the book I am reading now – ‘Till We Have Faces’ by C.S.Lewis.

'THE FALL OF LEGEND' is the first full length book in Meghan March's 'Legend Trilogy'. But the pieces we're given are delicious enough to make you desperately curious for how it all comes together, so I can't wait to see what the next installment in this trilogy will bring.ĪRC courtesy of author in exchange for an honest review There just wasn't enough meaty parts of the story for it to stand on it's own just yet. I was instantly riveted by the story in the beginning and totally enraptured by it in the end, but admittedly large pieces of the middle felt a bit like filler. There's intricate puzzle pieces that are thrown out here, leaving you desperate for answers. This installment was a bit slower paced than what I'm used to from Meghan March. The Fall of Legend just begin to lay the foundation to what you can already tell will be one epic story.
