- RznRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0This is a wonderful reimagining of the myth of Persephone. The first part of the piece really captures the innocence and the attitude of Persephone as this young girl still emotionally hiding behind her mother's skirt as she tries to understand the world. From this strong scene, things begin to change in ways that push the myth a bit awkwardly. Persephone's combative, and rebellious stint runs counter to her behavior and gets jumbled with the actions of Hades to the point that it becomes confusing as to who is in the right. Persephone's actions don't make a lot of sense and how she is able to take things this far becomes problematic to the overarching story itself. It is still a good read, but Persephone's behavior is a bit of a problem.
