Im still gonna go with five stars because I felt it was well put together for a tale that I felt took the darker elements of the myths, Persephone was not happy to be Hades bride. So to convert that into a sapphic twist with the societal pressures to be expected for the setting, it was well written.
I definitely felt there was a slight lack to Persephone’s personality depth in the beginning but also well explained with her circumstances and there wound up being character growth in finding more of who she is outside of her mothers shadow.
For Hades .. I understand the more triggering behavioral concerns; maybe Im scarred from “Pomegranates and Promises” comparing itself to the Hades/Persephone , so to me this Hades.. rough but not sick like Dr. Kal Anderson, THAT was a DNF I do not regret. I did like the way Hades handled her obligation as a Ruler of a Realm and the necessary pieces to the way of her people and views of marriage while addressing sincerely Persephone’s prior points of pain and then utterly respected the key elements that meant finality for Persephone’s fate.
Also I feel like this story had its sexual scenes but for the most part it was very minimal which is what made me feel like it focused more on the plot at hand.
Its definitely an interesting read and I felt pretty properly set up with the warnings; but again maybe because Ive seen so much worse Im like okay this one wasnt that bad and the setting is supposed to be “Ancient Greek” times

Hades x Persephone but make is sapphic. Hades as a dom femme queen of the underworld? Say less *drool emoji here*
This was right up my alley. Greek mythology scratches a particular itch for me and I am a sucker for mythology retellings. This retelling was DARK, but in the world of greek gods and goddesses I think it added to the debauchery and power dynamics of an immortal pantheon.
