The Hades + Persephone Retelling is a highly saturated market and, so far, this book isn’t giving me anything to grab onto. All the Greek Gods have the capability to be morally grey, but here, all the gods are evil except Hades. It’s almost insulting to the original story.

I really detest the weird tension created when two characters love each other but cannot focus singularly on that fact. Persephone has decided she needs to leave and that’s the end of it, no matter that the lower city is the polar opposite from the upper city, that she feels like Hades’ house is her home, or that she is obsessed with him. The stubbornness annoys me.

It’s okay so far. Persephone is interesting I guess? Hades is a very flat character though.
