Olympian Confessions: Hades and Persephone
Olympian Confessions: Hades and Persephone | Erin Kinsella
2 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
Persephone is a Goddess without a title even though her relatives include the Lord of Light, Goddess of Wisdom, and the Queen of the Gods. She's only known as the daughter of her mother, something that leaves her feeling frustrated. She longs to escape Mount Olympus to discover who she truly is. Hades is the God of the Underworld, and when family obligations force him to attend a festival, he sees Persephone and knows what he's looking at: a vibrant young Goddess aching to break free. So begins an unlikely and tentative friendship that allows Persephone to cultivate her curiosity and blossom as a Goddess in her own right. The two escape to the Underworld together, infuriating Persephone's mother, the Goddess Demeter. Crops die and mortals begin to starve as a consequence of Demeter's wrath, and Persephone has two choices: Take charge of her own life or abandon the person she has become by returning to Olympus. Passions swirl, violence erupts, and the fate of the world is at stake as Gods and Goddesses let loose in Olympian Confessions.

I love Hades and Persephone retelling‘s and this one is a solid addition. Beware there are some typos and the pacing could be a little faster but overall this is a sweet story and the authors take on this myth is creative and different.

First I want to tell all the haters of typos and other imperfections don‘t read this book. This book is independently published and though I have seen more typos in traditional published books, there are a couple in the book. The story is sweet and can be a little slow at times, but I liked the new take on this Greek Myth. Hades is a good guy who cares about his realm. (more in comments)

Marilyncjackson Persephone is a goddess kept prisoner by her mother. This book is duel POV and there is not a lot of action. It is about a relationship and coming to age. I enjoyed it. 5y
