It is a fairly short story. I read it in two hours. Even so, I quite liked the story. If you want to read something short and sensual, read this story.

Cozy retelling of a side story. Felt like it was reworked to have the “sub/dom” dynamic.

I finally DNF'd at 85%. It was just weird. Unwieldy plot. Bland as hell, boring, nebulous heroine. Sexy hero, but not enough backstory. Instant lust that became love based on absolutely nothing.

Adored idea but execution fell flat
I usually love books inspired by or based on mythology, and I was incredibly intrigued by the concept but this fell flat for me.
The plot felt kind of choppy and something else that I just can't put my finger on prevented me from connecting to the characters and therefore fully enjoying it.
I did find everyone's reaction to Persephone's daughter disturbing, particularly Hades, as their reaction to her kind blaming her for things that are not her fault. Then on her part, I found her obsession with Cerberus understandable on one hand as he's the only one who acknowledges her, but on the other hand really creepy for certain reasons that are kind of a spoiler.
Overall I did enjoy aspects of it, so maybe 2.5 stars.

I don't even really know what to say about this book, it didn't really make a lot of sense and I feel like I was lost most of the time. I didn't manage to care for the characters or for the plot, I was just bored and lost.

LSD world building. No relationship development. Wordy writing and slow story.
