The arguing between Hades and Persephone in this book is a bit to much, they’re always arguing and while I understand why I find it annoying. This book finally give Persephone some character development compared to the first book in which the main focus was to introduce relationships and world building. I dont know if it is a good thing or not that I got so lost in the unique world that I forgot this was a retelling of the story of Persephone and Hades (I only remembered at the end). Additionally, there were so many sub plots I felt a bit overwhelmed and many of these sub plots felt forced or just completely uninteresting.
