I felt like the author changed Persephone's voice in this book. I understand that she is developing as a character, it just didn't feel like Persephone anymore.

This is the best one in the series that I’ve read so far! As biased as I am towards Neon Gods, it’s taken me a while to actually get into the story. The smut is really good and frequent, which I love, and things really picked up towards the end. I surprisingly can’t wait to read the next one!
