This story definitely presents a very unique take on the Greek myths.  It is well written and an enjoyable read.  By the end of this novel I was definitely completely wrapped up in the story.  I needed to know how it all ended.  It was so sweetly romantic.  It definitely made me smile.  I really appreciated how Dionne brought her story to life, allowing you to feel with and for her characters while seeing the action take place.Dionne presents her audience with characters that remain somewhat superficial throughout.  They are written with the assumption that the reader knows Greek mythology well and therefore are able to determine their histories.  Unfortunately I found that since I really didn’t get to know the characters in an in depth manner the story was a bit hard to get into at times.  That said, I found Syrinx to be the ideal character type for a god playing the mortal.  It shines through in her slips to formal language in dialogue and in her actions.This really was a uniquely entertaining read.  Being a reader who is deeply dependent on characters to bring the story to light I would have liked to see a bit more development but overall did enjoy reading it.Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.
