River of Shadows by Karina Halle
3.0

If you’re looking for a new Hades and Persephone retelling, this may be for you!

The beginning was so promising with beautiful world building and an incorporation of Finnish mythology, I had high hopes.

I did feel a bit disappointed with the characters and relationships falling flat for me and the pop culture references did take me out of the story a few times.

I will pick the next one up as I’m curious to see where it goes!
