I'm not usually a fan of instant love/lust but for some reason it really worked here (for me at least). It's definitely not going to be for everybody but I found it refreshing to read something I didn't have to take seriously! The amount of consent not only in smut scenes but in the characters every day lives was so great to see.

Mispronouncing things, making weird noises while trying to chuckle, and making sex scenes uncomfy.

One reason I am rating this so highly is because of the conversations Persephone and Hades have around consent, protection, and sexual health. IT WAS SO REFRESHING AND IMPORTANT that this was featured because it is a very real life topic in any sexual relationship whether casual or committed that is not featured enough in romance or erotica and seeing it was just so fantastic.
Also, something that is becoming a common point for me in reading Hades x Persephone retellings is my love of Hermes. I have yet to have a bad portrayal of this God and having a female Hermes was a very interesting take. I do wish Hecate was featured somehow.
