Hades & Persephone: This is one of the BEST retellings of Hades and Persephone that I’ve had the pleasure of reading.

So many times I have read tales of this story that failed to capture the true essence of the myth. This book does an excellent job of correlating between the original tale and modern day theatrics. I loved that everyone kept their given names and not some variation of it. I also loved the incorporation of magic and the world’s fascination of the gods by making them “celebrities”.
