Recently I have come across several different re-tellings of the myth of Persephone. Mostly in Young Adult books. I continue to seek out books of this particular re-telling because it's one of my favorites and I'm dying to find one that makes me feel ALL of the feelings.
So far this version is my favorite of my readings. This is not just because I felt the characters were much more likeable, but the story was edgier and had a bit more danger to it throughout the whole story instead of waiting until the very end as the climax.
The pacing of the novel keeps constant from the very beginning. Persephone finds out that she is a goddess within just a few pages and we swiftly get wrapped up into a story of teleporting worlds, kidnapping, dangerous Gods, the almighty Zeus and of course, Love.
Even at 237 pages it was a very fast read, engaging and entertaining. This is a book that fans of Greek Mythology and adventure will enjoy.
