This was a really compelling retelling of the myth of Hades and Persephone, told firstly from the point of view of Demeter, who I feel like we don‘t often hear from, other than the typical controlling mother trope.
Romantic and brutal both, the author breathes fresh life into Persephone and Demeter‘s stories.
I also found the section on the underworld far richer than many others have made it.
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the arc.
