This was fairly quiet and slow moving, but I enjoyed the characters. I like watching Persephone find herself in Hades and embrace her power.
I didn't realize when I started reading that the author considers this YA, so I was a little disappointed it wasn't smut. I'm glad to have read this, but I don't know that I would have finished it if I hadn't put it on a Reading Challenge - it was just too easy to set aside, which is why it took me three months to read it.

I loved the concept of this book! A sapphic retelling of Hades and Persephone? Sounds amazing!
I enjoyed reading it and it was a quick read but I didn't really get into it. It was a book where I never forgot that I was reading but I still enjoyed the story.
Zeus as the big bad guy was a great choice but also explored too little for my taste. There were a few things that didn't make any sense and it sometimes felt little thought through.
All in all a solid read. If you want to read it go ahead but it's not something I will go around recommending to people. I just wish there were more sapphic retellings of greek mythology.

comenzó muy bien. incluso pensé que sería de mis libros favoritos. pero el plot se debilitó conforme avanzaba la historia, dando un final que sentí apresurado

I loved this book and I hated this book (for the reason that I felt so deeply about this book and it’s enticing characters.) I certainly did not expect this book as a whole even after knowing the myth of Persephone and Hades. I was very pleasantly surprised.
