panWell that was…something. I think I prefer Katee Robert‘s Hades x Persephone retelling, since this one dragged for the last two hours of the audiobook. If these two would just, idk, talk? to each other? So many of their issues would‘ve been resolved. Also, Persephone is 21. Like human 21. And Hades is literally millions of years old. No thanks, my curiosity is satiated, I won‘t be continuing this series.

pickEn mi escuela nos ponen a leer un libro por mes, y este libro me impresionó, tiene una historia buena, personajes desarrollados, y una redacción entendible que hace que te adentres más en el libro, pero en los capítulos pasan cosas que hacen que te distraigas un poco del tema central.
Recomiendo este libro para personas entre 9 - 15 años.
pickDefinitely not my favorite but definitely liked the ending and knowing more about Sally. She‘s my favorite mom. Don‘t tell the other moms.
pickPersephone, daughter of Demeter, strikes a deal with Hades in his nightclub while disguised as a mortal college student. Persephone has six months to figure out how to create life in the underworld. She‘ll come to find a life worth living while doing so. Meanwhile, hades has another deal with aphrodite in the works that may impact this one. Steamy and sinful, yet focusing on the overall underlying good in humanity, this is romantsy at its best!

Haynes spoke through Calliope and gave a voice to the broken women of Troy. It was nice to read the voice of the women in this war, I can only recommend it.

pickFinished this up on my lunch. I enjoyed this installment a lot. Lots of twists and turns (haha labyrinth - get it). I‘m ready for the next one
pickI remember first reading the scene with Clytemnestra in the Iliad and thinking WTAF!! 🤬 (i wont say why because spoilers) I couldnt believe that the narrative continued on barely acknowledging the abuse (imo) - so i was always going to read this book. It‘s engaging and propulsive but dark and violent too. Women in the myths were horribly mistreated and misrepresented - I‘m glad to see a retelling that puts Clytemnestra‘s experience first.
