Persephone was kind of annoying in this book. She was very demanding and quick to blame others instead of communicating her needs. Hades says “Darling” too much. 

Otherwise, I like the new friendships in this book. I can’t wait to hear more about the war in the next book.

Quite smutty, but not without substance. There is surprising depth of character that keeps it really engaging.

It would’ve been a 3.5 star, maybe even a 4, but a lot of the later “plot” elements felt unnecessary and like they were added for drama or to be edgy. I’m also disappointed in the fact that it seems like every chapter has some mention of sex or wanting it, it’s like the main character’s relationship cannot exist without it which does not build healthy foundations and ruined the book for me personally. And then the spicy chapters had less of an impact due to the over abundance of sex talk.

I decided to stop reading this at 42%.
I adore Persephone & Hades but I can’t stand them in this retelling. Which is a shock to me because the development they got from book 1 was wiped when continuing to book 2. Persephone was just immature & her actions were always so contradictory. Hades was just *there*.
