A touch of darkness reviews6/3/2023 ![]() While Persephone’s desperation to get away from her mother and her having eaten the pomegranate are popular parts to the mythos, I was glad to see other parts of the Persephone x Hades mythos. Next to Lore Olympus, this is my absolute favorite. The Hades x Persephone tale is quite the trend lately. Side Note: Speaking of world-building, I’ll be damned if I didn’t get hot and bothered about Hades’s library. I was continuously impressed and so quickly immersed and obsessed. From the god-owned clubs and businesses to their events to the realms to the simplicity of flowers, clothes, and music. She gave so many perfect little and big details that tethered the gods and mortals together. She didn’t compromise the world for the sake of the gods, but built on top of it. I found Clair’s take and blend on this retelling exquisite. The growing intensity between her and Hades had me craving like no other. ![]() More so, Persephone dipped her toes into the god pond and it was quite the challenging adventure. Others, like Persephone, and there aren’t many, prefer a low-key life. ![]() Many of the gods take their power above and beyond, reminding mortals who’s boss. The powers of the gods are more prominent than ever and now they co-exist in the mortal world. Not overdone in the slightest on either side. The story was brought into the present and modernized in such a fantastic way. ![]() This retelling of the Hades/Persephone mythos is definitely my favorite. ![]()
