The other thing I loved the most about this brilliant book, was that we got to see an author execute a perfect enemies to barely tolerate each other to friends to fake relationship to lovers character development and I was LIVING FOR IT. I can’t tell you exactly how much I laughed while reading this one, I mean I also swooned a fair bit, but mostly I was just laughing at the sheer audacity of our badass Persephone and the banter between her and Hades (and Styx). People of Earth, may I present to you the most fun Greek mythology book you’ll ever read (so sorry Percy Jackson, I still love you with all my heart). THE WRITING, THE HUMOUR, THE GREEK GODS AND THE PURE VIBES, KORE <3 Stay tuned for when I meet Hades. I've only read chapter 1 but I have a feeling this is going to be one of my favourite books this year. I have some more thoughts that I'll share closer to the release! If you enjoyed Lore Olympus, this would be the perfect read for you! It's equal parts rom-com and fantasy while effortlessly weaving in Greek mythology elements and characters. They had me giggling into the book and kicking my feet in the air. She's a badass main character while we get a more soft boy Hades which I adored with my whole heart. Persephone's story from little girl to chaos bringer was done really well and you see her really grow into her own. If you enjoy pining and characters that try to hide their feelings even though everyone knows you both should be together, this is it! I loved the arc of their romance and how they grew from almost enemies to cautious friends to real friendship and then undergoing a 'fake' marriage situation, all the while they have the most insane chemistry and banter. After tricking Hades into letting her stay in his home, she takes it upon herself to explore Hades' realm of the Underworld (without his permission) and then proceeds to suggest improvements (lol, Persephone, intrusive guest much). After running away from the only home she's ever known, she seeks refuge in the Underworld. The romance was also so refreshing beginning with Hades as our dark and brooding love interest, and Persephone (Kore) as a witty match and a thorn in his side. Girl, Goddess, Queen takes Hades and Persephone's tale and creates the ultimate rom-com drama with Persephone's growth and journey at its heart. De gevolgen kunnen dodelijk zijn, maar de dood is nog maar een klein stapje als je al in de hel bent…ĭeze feministische hervertelling van de mythe van Hades en Persephone is het eerste deel in een reeks van drie hervertellingen van mythes, geschreven door Bea Fitzgerald. Haar plan zal heel Olympus op zijn grondvesten doen schudden en wie weet waar zij door dit alles in verandert. Maar Persephone heeft andere plannen en daarvoor heeft ze de hulp van de arrogante, ronduit onbeschofte en irritant sexy Hades nodig. Maar Hades, heerser van de hel, is allesbehalve blij haar te zien en is vastbesloten haar terug te sturen. Als haar vader Zeus aankondigt dat die dag eindelijk is aangebroken ziet ze maar één uitweg: de onderwereld. Persephone vreest voor de dag waarop ze wordt uitgehuwelijkt aan een of andere zelfvoldane god.
In haar radeloosheid laat haar moeder de aarde langzaam sterven. Hades ontvoert Persephone om haar tot zijn bruid te maken. Ze sprong.ĭe mythe is duizenden jaren oud.
