I really have enjoyed seeing the character growth of Persephone and Hades. I can’t stand Apollo and wish he’d just drop out of the series, but he’s an integral part of the story with Persephone having to deal with him on a regular basis. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to be shipping Hades and Persephone, but I do like them together despite the age difference. I can’t wait to see what volume three brings!

I’m starting to enjoy the series more with each volume I read. It’s definitely not my favorite, but I don’t dislike it. Certainly an interesting and fun take on the Greek Gods.
