This is not intended to be a full statement of all your rights under the Distance Selling Regulations. If Persephone had followed the statement about arrogance with something like, "We will NEVER have sex," his response might make sense.

She has a master’s degree in library science and information studies and a bachelor’s in English writing. Following the engagement between Persephone and Hades, Demeter has summoned a snowstorm that grinds normal life in New Greece to a standstill. Hecate, the souls in the underworld, and all the gods that are portrayed in this book were so wonderful! So, in Persephone’s books, we get her life in the mortal world, detached from the issues and antics of the gods (and there are a lot).

What I DO vibe with, is pretty much all of the secondary characters; Hermes, Hecate, Sybil, Thanatos, and even Apollo. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead grows - and it's forbidden. Hades has the same intensity, the same power, only that now we can see him more human and more aware of his feelings and vulnerability. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Underworld grows—a love that is both captivating and forbidden.

But let me be clear – I am Persephone, future Queen of the Underworld, Lady of Your Fate – may you come to dread my presence. It was really difficult to get a handle on the way in which mythological characters were employed in this story. This surge in retellings seems to have been pioneered by Madeline Miller with her books The Song of Achilles and Circe, which are both brilliant, but if you’re just starting to dip your toe into Greek mythology, give Stephen Fry’s books Mythos, Heroes and Troy a go!It changed a lot from the second book, because we actually read about something else and the love story between Hades and Persephone evolved.

He deals with so much behind the scenes that Persephone doesn’t get to see, and you start to understand the layers to the god in this book. He has MILLENIA of habits he needs to unlearn, and the fact that Persephone expects him to be perfect within months of meeting is so selfish and self-absorbed. I think she feels guilty and feels remorse, but I also think she still feels bad for herself more than actually learning from the mistakes she has made. Clair is a citizen of the Muscogee Nation and the author of the Hades X Persephone series, the Hades Saga, the Adrian X Isolde series, fairytale retellings, and When Stars Come Out.When Hades refuses to help, it fractures their relationship and has a desperate Persephone striking a bargain with severe consequences. So many mistakes and communication problems were hard to digest and because of this, it completely ruin the plot for me. I liked him so much that I instantly went and bought A Game of Fate – I needed more of Hades in my life, a lot more. If he truly didn't care about anyone's opinion this would make sense, but he tells Persephone more than once that HER opinion matters. I definitely should have done book reviews after each of these books instead of doing one for all of these books now, but lesson learned for future series that I begin!
