2.75

Writing: 3.25⭐️/5

I think the writing – while lacking some qualities I look for – was consistent throughout. While it didn’t add to the depth of either the characters or the story, it also didn’t pull me out of the story.

Characters: 2.75⭐️/5

I wanted so much more from the characters. I feel like they fall flat as both regular people and “gods,” with their powers vaguely (if at all) explored. The characters also felt secondary to situations. It felt like the most important fact was to position characters in certain spots for pivotal scenes, but beyond that, they lacked depth.

Plot: 2.75⭐️/5

While I’m a sucker for a Hades-Persephone story, this one fell short. The premise sets up a Mafia-romance read, which in and of itself is fine, but is replaced by Greek gods. The gods live in Olympus, which is a normal city but also not, for reasons we’re never clearly given. The fantasy elements fall short because it’s never really explained how they work. The overarching plot, while somewhat following the myth of Persephone and Hades, isn’t clearly told. If you’re looking for an easy read without too much attention to plot (and more on the spice factor) then it might work, but it didn’t stand out for me.
