As someone who is very new to anything Greek mythology, I was really interested by this free book that was available via BookBub. I don’t know what I was expecting and while I didn’t hate it, I didn’t love it either.

I think the main thing that ruined it for me was the mention of “avatars”, it confused me a little at the start as I felt as though they weren’t explained very clearly, and from the way I’ve understood it, God’s find themselves in a human form and transfer some of their power to said human. While I think it’s a very unique take, I think it took from the original situation of a Greek God/Goddess being present on Earth completely.

Despite the negative mentioned above, I feel as though the characters were well thought out and enjoyable to meet. Hades really is a grump, but he’s a grump that you grow to love as you see him develop through out the story. Autumn is a wildfire, full of spunk and takes the day as it comes. I love when two polar opposites come together and both take something from one another, I think it’s beautiful.

Although the plot was obvious, I did enjoy it as Autumn started to discover the truth about herself and I’m very intrigued to see how she’ll continue to develop as a person as Persephone starts to become more present within her.

Finally, there were a fair amount of spelling mistakes/grammatical issues within the story that surprised me as I expected less. Maybe it needs another proofread? Despite the issues, I would really like to read the next story!
