As a Persephone and Helen of Troy retelling this was delightful. I really enjoyed that so many stories of the gods were layered in, not just the big names, but even lesser known stories like the romance between Hephaestus and Aglaia. Their relationship was written with such tenderness and vulnerability that it really stood out to me. What I appreciated the most was that this retelling didn’t feel like a complete reinvention. Instead it stayed close to the original while embellishing and deepening the tales. The writing is strong and atmospheric, with worldbuilding that feels rich and well done. Sometimes the pacing lingers, but overall, it’s a beautifully crafted start to a series that mythology lovers will definitely appreciate.
