I did really like this, though as far as retellings go, the author definitely had some artistic license, so don't go into this expecting a loyal retelling.

But the characterisation of the main characters were good, not over the top or too cringey. It's a light read, so I didn't expect any hard hitting stuff, and at least the novel recognises itself enough not to veer off the deep end.

And yes, the descriptions were very, very good. Compared to other similar novels, this one is for sure one of the better ones, I would recommend it just for that if that's what you're looking for.

It’s not like I need my smut to be pullitzer-prize worthy, but if Roberts had tried even a little bit to give this book a real plot, it might’ve done more for me. Sex scenes were hot, sure, but not nearly as “wicked” as the protagonists would have you believe. Moreover, the Olympus overture could’ve been really interesting in a modern setting, but in this pornographic twist on Hades’ seduction of Persephone, it only fell flat.
