DNF.
Only started it because I found out the audiobook was on Spotify. I wasn't in the mood.
I read 74% of it and that took me a few days. I skipped many paragraphs that described things/places/people/emotions etc.
The O's are quick and somewhat repeatable, meaning the same thing happens in every scene, same description, same words, same actions. The devil's tango didn't make me feel anything.
Sure, I wasn't in the mood, but a good book could always help...

It's just fine. The world is poorly introduced and never really fleshed out fully. The characters are surprisingly endearing, so points for that. The explicit scenes are awful. Poorly written, weirdly paced, just not appealing at all.

Was this the best piece of literary art I’ve ever read? No. Was it super entertaining with some amazing sex scenes? Yes yes it was I loved how they were written and I never got an awkward feeling like I do with some other sex scenes I’ve read. Super cute touch her you die vibes over all kept me reading and I couldn’t put it down!

Read her in a day because I’ve never met a Hades x Persephone retelling I don’t love. Loved how he’s a consent queen, though I definitely thought it would be spicier and the world didn’t intrigue me enough to continue with couples I don’t care about as much. It almost felt like an early draft.
World building? Never heard of her. There is zero Greek myth in this book aside from the weird political system where people are called by the names of Greek gods but those names are actually political positions. I’m not even sure how any of it works because none of it was explained (and I’m stopping at the halfway point, mind you). Should have DNFd at the Neosporin name drop, and I pushed through thinking it would get better. It didn’t.
There’s no tension, no pining, and it reads like Fifty Shades of Grey in the worst way possible.
