"So, this is goodbye then..."

The last update was actually at 96%

After the first real bit of action, Hades remembers he won't see Persephone after the fallout of his actions. The "action" is extremely lacklustre and boring.

Finally Zeus is doing something about Persephone being with Hades?

Maybe it's not even Zeus behind this scenario... 🙄

Hades believes there are a million reasons to honour the agreement and have persephone leave after winter. I see none with any value. Just vague reasons without development or rhyme or reason.

Still on 77% and Hades has just mentioned he doesn't want to let Persephone go after winter. That's literally all this is. Don't read it if you have trouble dnf'ing books like me ☠️

Persephone "just" realised she would miss Hades when she leaves. Nope. Sorry. She's mentioned that too many times to have only just realised. Where was the developmental editing in this book???

I wish I had marked down every single time they remembered they couldn't be together. It's already happened another 2 times since my update at 71% ☠️

Man, I'm so over hearing them remember that Persephone and Hades can't get close because Persephone has some vague and pathetic motive of leaving after winter. There is no real reason apart from the fact that she wants to find herself. This book could have been so good if not for the same boring plot spanning the entire book with no real progress ☠️
