It's a nice book! Hades and Persephone but make it lesbian, truly amazing. The characters are lovable and I loved the new tropes that the author added to the book. The relationship was cute and you could see how much they love each other. My favorite part was
how Elysium was portrayed, as well as the resolution of the dead finding peace and helping one another, I thought it was beautiful how forgiveness was presented. Pallas was also a character that I loved, but I was left wanting better for her. Finally, I liked how the pomegranate was used in the story, it was really creative and new way to show this part of the myth.
I would recommend this book to anybody that would appreciate an f/f Hades and Persephone novel, it's also really quick to read! For the lesbians who love greek mythology ;) Make sure to take into consideration the content warnings
