I, uh...did not see the content warnings before reading. 
I was really excited about a f/f Hades & Persephone but just can't do the non-con. I get the OG myth is definitely that, but I had more hope for a lesbian retelling.

I did like it, but it is definitely dark and not something for everyone. I advise everyone to read the content warnings before they pick it up.
