3.5

Not gonna lie, the pop culture references really threw me for a few loops like the actual use of "YEET" repeatedly, and mentioning TikTok, and things of the like. Don't get me wrong, it's a decent retelling of Hades and Persephone / Beauty and the Beast, and it's pretty damn spicy, but it's just not a 4 star read for me.
