The Maiden and The Unseen by Jeanette Rose, Alexis Rune

emotional mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

This had me alternating between laughing my ass off and clenching my thighs! Oh, and groaning at how BAD they are at communicating 🤣 They are literally the WORST at forming cohesive sentences that express what they're really feeling 😅 And they're both dragging so much trauma behind them they they second guess everything! But I mean, it just makes the story all the more agonizing for us 🖤

I've read a few Hades x Persephone retellings and so far this one is my favorite! Have I been using too many exclamation points?! I can't get over them. They're both loveable, both have unique insecurities and both *begin* to grow as a person... I'm sure books 2 and 3 will show even more personal growth. 

Also love the secondary characters Hekate, Mellie and Helios. They deserve their own books
