Enigma by RuNyx
3.0

As the kids say, I was today-years-old when I learned this was supposed to have been a Hades/Persephone retelling. We have our weirdo nepo baby for whom closed-off means being devoid of a personality. Don't worry: she's petite like every other FMC on the planet. Her paramour is a "mercurial-eyed, longish-haired, hunky chonk" MMC. You will be reminded of these three character traits a million f*cking times. "You keep using that word 'chonk'--I don't think it means what you think it means."

I abhor repetitive language. Furthermore, I abhor language that reminds me of idiot teenagers. Characters "dipped", had "mad respect", etc. I really thought the mystery and inextricable connection between the main characters was leading to something epic, but the end kind of fizzled, so I landed on 3 stars.

Pros: well-chosen quotes from other, much better books; the beautiful photography; the atmosphere.
