OK! I'm not the type to post on Tumblr but rereading "Persephone the Torment of Hades" I can almost replace the characters with Elain and Azriel, it's so them, I love it. I'll let you discover some extracts, I love this book by Allison Shaw ❤

Rating: 5/5

Book Blurb: In his ancient hymns, Homer tells us of the unyielding Lord of the Dead who kidnapped the innocent daughter of Demeter. He tells us quite a bit, in fact, for someone who wasn’t there. Persephone is no tragic victim, but a kind young woman held in place by her overbearing mother. A failed scheme by Apollo leads her to a chance encounter with the humorless Hades, who is struck by love’s arrow. Now he must wrestle with his aching heart before he loses control entirely. ...Not that the infatuated Persephone has any complaints regarding Hades' plight. As desire blooms between the secluded goddess of the harvest and the ruler of the underworld, the world changes both above and below. Allison Shaw, creator of comics Far to the North and Tigress Queen, drew on her passion for mythology and ear for modern dialogue to create an updated myth for a mature audience. She wished to offer to her readers a feminist and sensual take on the story, which has grown more and more popular over the years, thanks to its themes of change, rebirth and growth.

Review:

A sweet and lovely take on the classic Hades and Persephone story! I loved the art style so much and honestly could do with more of the story ( gimme a book two haha). The story captures the major points of the classic while adding some new flare of its own. The art is beautiful and the overall story is lovely! If you love the classic mythology and are looking for a new take on it, then definitely check this one out!
