Where do I start? As I always love retelling, I kept an eye for this book for I don't know how long. I love retelling, I love mythology, I love queer book. So, I guess this is a perfect book for me. With a genderbent! Persephone (turned out to be Percy) and Haden (from Hades), we know where the story will go.

I love the process reading it. Knowing every characters and can react to each of them freely, I just love The Devil Takes freaking much. Plus, this book comes from the author and illustrator I love. The arts in this book are just brilliant!

Thank you for releasing The Devil Takes, Fae. And I can't wait to continue my journey with Haden & Percy in What's Willingly Given... probably in hell? That's gonna be awesome! I didn't regret that everyday I've read this book for 33 pages per day.

Thank you so much!

This was fun and I enjoyed the parts about Percy trying to navigate his life and college. The parts with Haden were good and steamy but I felt like it was a bit disconnected from the rest of the story.  I never really got to figure out the 2 of them together.
