The Hades Trials: The Complete Collection
by Eliza Raine
Let me start by saying I LOVE Hades and Persephone retellings - all the forbidden romance and fated love and toe curling tension just does it for me.
When I started this, I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about it, but I kept reading because it was a different take on the usual retelling and it had potential. I'm really glad I did - I couldn't stop once it picked up. I NEEDED to know how the trials were going to progress, who was going to be left standing at the end, and who was to blame for all of the unexplained mishaps.
This only got 4 stars because there really wasn't much world building or character development - you're literally just thrown right into the story. That being said - the story hooked me and kept me intrigued, as did the heart-wrenching, slow burn tension between Hades and Persephone.
If you need world building and complex character development to enjoy a story, this probably won't be for you. But if you're looking for an intriguing, spicy Hades and Persephone retelling, I definitely recommend!
