5.0

The world-building was done beautifully and I felt fully immersed in 'New Athens.' While it's mainly a romance novel, I think there is something to be said about the friendships in the book, about women supporting women and protecting and inspiring each other. If you're a girl's girl and like some spice to your books, this is a great book for you.

Persephone reads very young and a bit naive.

*spoiler* There is a part where the main character is roofied and sexually harassed. The toxic relationship is in reference to her relationship with her mother, although it could be argued there is multiple.

This was honestly a pleasant surprise. I'm a sucker for a Greek mythology retelling; however, I don't usually read romance. There were places where I was irritated at miscommunication and action of characters, but overall a solid start to the series.

Booooo. Maybe this would have been better if the author's take on Persephone wasn't UNBEARABLE. Also, I had to push through half of the book before there was any spice.  AND the spice was mid.
