I re-read this book and gave it a full 5* on the second time. It might be that after having finished all currently published books of the series (plus Wicked Villains) the depth and foreshadowing here just hit differently and made it even more enjoyable than on the first read.
I have a feeling that this won't be my last re-read either, so can recommend this (again), even after reading 60+ dark romances in between. What a journey it's been!
Review Nov 2022 (4.75*)
I really loved this retelling of the old Hades/Persephone myth! It has a nice story like, and I really appreciated that the whole arch was one book, rather than - as so often happens now - a trilogy. That said, I wish it was longer!
I particularly loved the representation: everyone seems to be casually queer (this is just given as a normal thing, rather than made a topic in itself); consent is a huge topic throughout, whether on explicit sex scenes (of which there are a couple, oh my, and they are very RACK type of kinky) or topics like childhood neglect/ caring for oneself etc. I thought this was done in a really intelligent and engaging way.
I will likely re-read at some point, and am already looking at more books in the Dark Olympus series.
