A timely reimagining of the story of Dionysus-Greek god of ecstasy, revelry, and ruin-and a captivating queer love story for readers of The Song of Achilles and Elektra.
Raised in a Greek legion, Phaidros has been taught to follow his commander's orders at all costs. But when Phaidros rescues a baby from a fire at Thebes's palace, his commander's orders cease to make sense: Phaidros is forced to abandon the blue-eyed boy at a temple, and to keep the baby's existence a total secret.
Years later, struggling with panic attacks and flashbacks, Phaidros is enlisted by the Queen to find her son, Thebes' young crown prince, who has vanished to escape an arranged marriage. The search leads him to a blue-eyed witch named Dionysus, whose guidance is as wise as the events that surround him are strange. In Dionysus's company, Phaidros witnesses sudden outbursts of riots and unrest, and everywhere Dionysus goes, rumors follow about a new god, one sired by Zeus but lost in a fire.
In The Hymn to Dionysus, bestselling author Natasha Pulley transports us to an ancient empire on the edge of ruin to tell an utterly captivating queer love story about a man needing a god to remind him how to be a human.

So far, I've read all of Pulley's books, now looking forward to the new publication. This book has been extremely captivating as always, with a wild mix of history and mystic imaginations, told in the usual slightly sarcastic style. A wonderful read that I can absolutely recommend!
beautiful and maddening in the best way

I went into this book not wholly certain what to expect, but immensely excited nonetheless. I loved it, it was both devastating and wonderful and most things in between, some lines stood out for their emotional gut-punch, some because they were plain delightful. The prose and writing style are wonderful, the recurring themes are great, I cried and laughed and maybe feared for my heart in some parts but this book easily joins the ranks of my favourites. It's tragic and happy and gripping and human 5/5
