Girl, Goddess, Queen: A Hades and Persephone fantasy romance from a growing TikTok superstar

Product Information

I also appreciate it being set in an Ancient Greek-esque world, since most Hades and Persephone retellings can be categorised as urban fantasy, due to being set in the modern world.

As a self-confessed Hades and Persephone fan girl I knew I needed to get my grabby, Greek Myth-loving hands on a copy of this ASAP! I don't know what I was expecting, but for some reason this book surprised me in all the right ways. The best fake-dating, enemies to lovers, Greek retelling sprinkled with real life truths you’ll read this summer.Persephone's hang-up over sex = rape might be slightly justified (thanks Demeter etc) but it's boring as hell to read. I feel that whilst their friendship was explored well, the pining didn't really work out for me, which really made me dissapointed as I wanted to love it so much but I just couldn't. She spends about 75% of the novel complaining how everyone just goes around and takes things out of pure entertainment things that are not theirs, and yet, she does exactly this! And the achingly romantic, slow burn tension that develops between Hades and Persephone (taking them from enemies- to friends and beyond) was beautifully written and really gave us a chance to explore the nuances of the trust, respect and love that gradually grows between them. While this is a romance, it's mostly Persephone's story of taking her life into her own hands, empowering herself, and taking agency.

The God of Death and the King of the Underworld is meant to have some kind of bite to him and this guy was the equivalent to a fluffy rabbit. I loved that the author had made it a centre of the story with the mix of so many strong female characters that makes the book very female-centric and empowering.THE WRITING, THE HUMOUR, THE GREEK GODS AND THE PURE VIBES, KORE <3 Stay tuned for when I meet Hades. I really liked that idea of making the underworld into something more than land of dead ones, a place that god and bad wont mixes together. But to her father, Zeus, a wrathful god terrified of having his power usurped, it was the worst possible answer she could have given.

This will forever and always be my favourite book about Hades and Persephone (because I’m a little sick of the smutty or all serious no-fun ones on the market at the moment), so if you want a bomb ass fun book about fake dating and trying to take down a parthenon then please pick this one up. Readers were expecting wonderful things from Bea Fitzgerald’s debut, and it doesn’t disappoint in the slightest. Since I don't want to sound too ranty, I would divide my thoughts into two parts to make it not as long. Kore, little girl , has spend all her life locked on an island and is raised for one purpose; to be the perfect daughter.I really liked Hades to start with but then he just turns into this sort of boring character who just lets Persephone do whatever she wants and doesn't really seem to have an opinion half the time, or any objection to her changing his realm. For someone who has never read Greek Mythology before I was transported into a new and imaginative world.
