Why we recommend it
A Persephone retelling with the mythological darkness taken seriously — the underworld is genuinely threatening, Hades is not domesticated, and the goddess of spring navigating a world of death is the actual story. St. Clair writes the romantasy with mythological scale and the darkness the source material has always contained.
