The Persephone version of events is a more whiny teenager rebelling against her mom in the real world than the powerful Gods and Goddesses of Greek Mythology. A Touch of Malice” began like in the same way as “ A Touch of Ruin” and I thought it would be very difficult to follow and to finish it.

To add to her troubles, everyone seems eager to warn Persephone away from the God of the Underworld by exposing his hellish past. They have all been living for thousands of years, and you could really feel the depth of their relationships, and the history between them all which I loved. Personally, I don’t look for romance in the books I read – honestly, I hate lovey-dovey type tropes in my life.They began to be under the God’s radar and this thing caused conflict, which drowns dynamic to the plot. What started with a challenge and a pact will became one of the most powerful love stories in Olympian history.

Hades, God of the Underworld, is known for his inflexible rule, luxurious night clubs, and impossible bargains. But Persephone has a chance encounter with Hades, God of the Dead, and enters into an impossible contract. Does she want passion and/or love (two things that are alternately conflated and differentiated, as the situation dictates)? Enter a world where Greek mythology and romance intertwine in an epic saga that will ignite your imagination and leave you breathless.Regardless of his efforts, there are forces who wish to keep the two apart and Hades comes to realize he will do anything for his forbidden love, even defy Fate. However, with the insta love, that is definitely stemming from the roots of Greek Mythology so that, I accept begrudgingly. I’ll just say things happen that Persephone thinks Hades has control over as the God of the Dead, but he cannot control fate or death. But her assassination attempt is thwarted, and Adrian threatens that if Isolde tries to kill him again, he will raise her as the undead.

Now, I know you may be thinking, wouldn’t that be a bit repetitive reading the exact same book from the other main characters point of view? Persephone's relationship with Hades has gone public and the resulting media storm disrupts her normal life and threatens to expose her as the Goddess of Spring.If a refund or reimbursement is payable to you, we will transfer the money using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase.

I’ve heard that I need to read A Game of Fate, which is the first book from Hades’ point of view, to understand more about his motives and perspective, and I’m really excited to read it, especially because he was sort of absent in this book? This book was full of smaller story lines, and introduced a few moving pieces which will surely climax (no pun intended) in the final instalment of this series. I actually enjoyed this one more than the first one, even though we definitely didn’t get enough Hecate. This surge in retellings seems to have been pioneered by Madeline Miller with her books The Song of Achilles and Circe, which are both brilliant, but if you’re just starting to dip your toe into Greek mythology, give Stephen Fry’s books Mythos, Heroes and Troy a go! The war between the demigods and gods/goddesses and Olympians really starts to take off and Hades and Persephone are caught right in the middle of it.It was unbearable and I struggled soooo much with Persephone, it almost made me not finish the books.

He makes no exceptions to these values—not for god or mortal, even his lover, Persephone, Goddess of Spring. From here, I would then recommend The Library of Greek Mythology (also known as Bibliotheca) by Pseudo-Apollodorus. The God of the Underworld is known for his inflexible rule just as much as his luxurious night clubs and impossible bargains.
