Kal and Elena
I’ve always been a fan of mythology and been specially drawn to Greek mythology so when I was looking for something to read and I came across this book and saw it was loosely based on Hades and Persephone I knew I had to read it and I’m so happy I did because I truly loved it. This book truly was such a good read and I had the best time with it. It was dark and emotional and fun and I found myself feeling happy and angry and I did shed tears I admit and my heart ached and it tugged at my heartstrings. I found myself like this 👁️👄👁️ at times and just the mystery woven through out got me intrigued and curious too. This book just took me for a rollercoaster ride and I willingly hopped on it. I loved both Elena and Kal and I found myself rooting for them always, I found myself cheering for Elena because you go Queen, and found myself swooning over Kal and I felt my heart hurt for both of them for all they’ve endured. Their journey Individually and together was just lovely to see and it put me through the wringer. These 2 are just soulmates and I loved seeing them get happily ever after in the end. Just hearing what Kal endured broke me, just how Elena and Kal loved each other, their bond, their passion, how fiery and in tune with each other they were, their deep love and bond. The so called Death and his Queen. The finding a home and peace and just a safe space in each other. Soulmates I tell you. This book was just wonderful and I truly enjoyed my time with it and I can’t wait to read the next book because that ending 👀 such a good set up for book 2. Overall this book was just so much fun and I had a blast reading it. While I wouldn’t say this book is dark dark it does have some darkness to it so do please check your tw/cw for this one if you need them.
PS: Elena’s parents can kindly get lost and go away because those 2 were vile and we don’t need that kind of trash energy here, no thank you ew 🤢 glad they got what they deserved though.
