Well 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.

It took me three months to read this chunkster. I had (too) high expectations because of how much I love The Magicians trilogy. The first third felt disjointed at times and going was much easier when I moved from book to audiobook. Between a pick and a so so.

Just can‘t get into this like I did Wicked. Something is just not hitting the same. Has anyone felt the same? Read the others? Maybe I skip this one and go to the next?

Started this today and enjoying the escape. My Fair Lady is my fav movie. I read Pygmalion a few years and enjoyed that too. This audiobook is well done and I‘m enjoying the nods to the original story.

A Snow White retelling (prequel?) With the evil stepmother as narrator. I really enjoyed it.

#roll100 An interesting take on the well known tale of Penelope waiting for Odysseus to return from the Trojan War. Soft pick for me
