Hades and Persephone are absolute gems in this, and this story is definitely one of my favourite reimagining of them.
There is casual queer representation in this story, and both Hades and Persephone are trans. This isn't a huge plot point, and I liked how the conversations surrounding the topic were handled.
I feel that the author has done very well in balancing the relationship development between Hades and Persephone and the tensions between Hades and Zeus and the underbelly of this fictional world.
While there's some very mild angst and a smidge of dark undertones, I would say that overall, the story is a light read.
Smut:

But I feel like so far, this is perhaps the most well-rounded version I’ve come across. I enjoyed the writing style, the pacing was mostly good (there was some info-dumping that felt like a slog towards the beginning but it was negligible), the spice was very good, and the characters were nuanced. Overall I really enjoyed this one! I even shed a tear!
