3.0

That's a weak 3-star rating.
Persephone is a poor narrator and a barely likable character: she keeps talking about how she can't wait to be back in NY yet does very little to try to get back and takes everything happening to her in stride very quickly. We barely see anything of Hades, they barely interact. 
The plot/story has promise but I don't think it's been executed very well. The writing is simplistic and at times it isn't enough to fully pull you in.
