I’ve read plenty of Hades and Persephone retellings. Often times the emphasis on spice can leave the plot lacking depth or the commitment to the mythology can leave the characters one-dimensional.

But I feel like so far, this is perhaps the most well-rounded version I’ve come across. I enjoyed the writing style, the pacing was mostly good (there was some info-dumping that felt like a slog towards the beginning but it was negligible), the spice was very good, and the characters were nuanced. Overall I really enjoyed this one! I even shed a tear!
