Meh.
I was hoping to read an actual retelling of Hades x Persephone's brother story, instead i had vampires, elves and an annoying human.
I was confused till page 60 at least.
The characters had great attitudes and descriptions, still i feel like they miss something. The passage from disdain to love was very abrupt. Arlo went to knife on throat to full make out session in half a page.
I'm confused, i didn't grasp the romance. I didn't understand half the story and i was mostly bored.
Arlo didn't seem to actually love him, more like lust + 'eh, he's there. he needs love, I'll give it to him'.
Same from Faerin that probably loved him simply because Arlo was the only one who didn't died at his touch.
The story needed more time, more plot and especially a lil bit of action (that was all concentrated in the last 30 pages or something).
It's a big meh for me and im sorry because i was excited at the original plot.
