I am always apprehensive about Greek retellings. Although I love them, they have to be done right. But this book? It was everything I could have wanted and more! It was a whirlwind of emotions that had me both hating and loving Demeter, as well as in no way seeing the plot twist (PERSOPHONE?). Maybe that’s common knowledge, but I’m not well versed in Greek mythology which is partly why I find them so enjoyable.

This book brought the tragedies of Greek mythology to light, in such a way that had you feeling for each character. The power in which the original God’s have and how they misuse said power had me feeling empathetic towards the female characters. And the way the book started?! Didn’t see that coming! In fact, it’s fair to say, I didn’t see a single thing coming within the plot. I was surprised at the turn of each page, which is exactly what I need from a book.

My favourite quotes:
“How could anything as perfect as you possibly be mortal?”

“If this is not love, then I fear I will never know what is”

Loved this book and would highly recommend!

Thank you NetGalley for the arc in return for an honest review!
