saraktj 's review for:

4.0

Since childhood, I have been obsessed with Greek mythology, so all the retellings of Persephone and Hades are right up my alley. One of the things that stood out to me, though, was the concept of trials for Hades’ hand in marriage. I enjoy books with games/trials because they are always so exciting. This book was no different. I also loved getting to meet the gods, including some that I was not too familiar with. I think this retelling stood true to most of the original myth but also stood out as being different. However, I think the ending felt quite rushed and could have played out the whodunit portion a little more.

Overall, I enjoyed this series. It wasn’t perfect, but it was entertaining. I would recommend this book if you are a fan of Persephone/Hades retellings with a Hunger Game twist.
