I just finished this moments ago and it is 2:39am because I just couldn’t put the book down. I. Loved. This. As someone who reads a lot of Greek mythology and mythology retellings, I am well versed in the subject matter and I was excited to see this take on the myth of Hades and Persephone, especially because the story is told through the perspectives of both Persephone and Demeter.
This was beautiful and heart wrenching, it brought me to tears on more than one occasion. The characters were delivered in such a way that they felt fresh despite the fact that they are so prominent. There were characters from other myths that made an appearance and I loved that too. The spin on the original myths was wonderfully executed and, as someone who loves these stories so deeply, I could see how intentionally those changes were implemented to uphold the integrity of the core stories.
If you love mythology, especially that of Hades and Persephone, I would definitely recommend this one. I highly enjoyed it and I’m elated to add this to my collection.
