this would’ve easily been a 5 star read if it was at least 250 pages shorter. don’t get wrong, the plot was interesting and zenodarla were swoon-worthy and served boy-and-girl-obsessed x100 BUT! it felt too drawn out and i was underwhelmed that i figured out the plot twist when i was barely on page 200 and then in disbelief when i realized that i still had 350+ pages left. when i got 60% in, i had to push myself to continue the story because i’d already read 350+ pages and i’m too stupid stubborn to dnf. also, if i had to guess, approximately 100+ pages of this was just zeno and darla going at it like rabid dogs and it got so tiring very quickly.

overall, even with this being a hot retelling of hades and persephone, it makes me sad how underwhelming this was because i really tried to love this. but it just wasn’t for me.

zeno gianni de la croix, the man that you are. when is it my turn?
