Just a note: it's hard for me to separate the triggering events in this book from those in "A Touch of Darkness," as I read them back to back. I may have listed some content warnings that are more applicable to "A Touch of Darkness" than to this book from Hades' POV, so I'm sorry if this is the case! Most of the important events are the same, however, so I think that most warnings from "A Touch of Darkness" would make this list nonetheless.

Hades perspective is much easier for me to read and experience. Persephone is young, chaotic and impulsive. Hades is older and learned from his mistakes much quicker. He adapts and improves much faster.
