One of those retellings that are like, "Hades empowering, Demeter bad!" Had fun reading this one though.

Ok if you like Katee Robert’s Dark Olympus series I feel like you’ll really love this! First, both main characters are Trans! Which I LOVED. I personally really loved how this was written, I just struggled with how this world was structured. But I tend to always struggle with that in modern Greek Mythology retellings so it’s probably just me. I also would’ve liked the stakes to be a *bit* higher.
Overall though? Super hot Hades x Persephone retelling with some great representation and beautiful writing 🫶

I didn’t really like this one - I thought the writing and the story could have been a little bit better
becinneverland's review
way too many typos. I’m sorry but if you can’t spell “the” and “can’t” correctly in a published book I just cannot finish your book
