sarzi 's review for:

Lore Olympus: Volume Two by Rachel Smythe
1.0

i know i’m beating a dead horse with this but the entire relationship between hades and persephone seems so deeply predatory - he’s a full 2000 years older than her, she’s only 19, she’s so naive and inexperienced, and the entire time he’s just kind of gentle parenting her through her emotions? i especially hate the bit where they talk about how he considered marrying her mother, just because it emphasises the weird age/power/maturity dynamic? this sucks and obvs ill be reading more of the series because i’m a masochist, but this is literally so upsetting to me.
