I love the development of Hades and Persephone’s relationship in this book. I also really enjoyed the world building. I was worried this would be too much like the Touch of Darkness series but it’s not. The spice is delectable. 🥵

While it never explicitly states it has anything to do with an eating disorder, Persephone does have quite a few times in which she puts eating on the back burner and Hades makes her eat.

4.0

This is a banger of a Persephone Hades retelling. It’s well written, the banter is top tier, the characters all have chemistry, the world is well built but still loose, and I’m in love with Persephone and Hades. But it did take me longer to get into than I would’ve liked and the climax of the story and ending felt fast. I love love love the way Katee Robert writes about consent and pleasure and the spice in this book is not what I was expecting in a very good way. I also loved the epilogue and I’m not usually an epilogue girlie. The mythology was rewritten in a way that makes sense and I love the different ways Robert included aspects and people from the original myths. Super solid 4 stars, would recommend.
