Ooooh boy, I loved Seeds of Sorrow! It started a bit slow, but it picked up about 1/3 of the way through. I thought the world-building was fantastic in this book, and I loved the Hades and Persephone retelling aspect. I really, really loved the relationship between the brothers, especially because most H&P retellings stay true to mythology and the brothers generally hate each other. The chemistry between Draven and Eden was off the charts, and the spice was excellent. I can’t wait to revisit this world again!

I received a copy of Seeds of Sorrow from BookSirens for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
