I was rather disappointed with this and while there were aspects of that that I felt weren't really the book's fault, I was still disappointed. It didn't feel like it was a Hades and Persephone retelling (or at least it wasn't a very good one) and it just overall wasn't what I expected. It was a lot more heavy on the romance (if you could call it that) and the smut, which is fine but just not my cup of tea. Those thing by themselves I think could be forgiven, but I thought it was rather poorly written, I didn't buy the romance, and the fantasy elements felt overcomplicated and underexplained.
