as a fan of greek mythology and a practicing hellenic pagan i read my fair share of retellings.
this was pretty okay, and it was gay so it gave it a head start.
the ending was a bit rushed but i enjoyed not seeing the same tropes every other hades/persephone retelling has.
overall i enjoyed reading it.
