📖The Queen and The King by Jeanette Rose and Alexis Rune📖
This was a Retelling about Hades x Persephone and the third installment of a series. I really thought I would have to read the first two but to my surprise, I can say that it can read as a standalone — in my point of view.
This was also the second retelling I read of these two and it was such a good one! I personally researched before about them and this was well-received! I love every bit of romance into this story. It was very romantic and the slow burn was delicious. I love how they met in dreams and the tension between them was fantastic. Demeter was always making things complicated for them and the way she treated Persephone was way harsh which I actually love. Everything was written even the sensual scenes. There was a lot but it was perfect.
The only thing I don’t understand is that the way communication around Olympus was a phone? I thought they have powers and yet they use this? But then again, I still love it and would really recommend this story to anyone who loves retelling, Hades x Persephone, and Mythology.
Thank you NetGalley for the eARC! I really do enjoy this one the most!
