The Mistress & The Renowned: A Hades & Persephone Retelling by Jeanette Rose, Alexis Rune, Alexis Rune

3.0

Thank you so much for the arc. I will say I picked this one up purely because of the publisher. But I have to say I'm a little burnt out on all the hades and persephone retellings. I also want something fresh and a new take on it. I think this one was fine. The writing felt a bit choppy. I am not a fan of the miscommunication trope which here persephone refused to communicate. I did enjoy hades' character though which saved it for me. The ending is a cliffhanger which can drive me a little batty but I don't mind cliff hangers as much. Overall - for anyone obsessed with modern retellings of hades and persephone I think they would thoroughly enjoy it.
