Isaac Stackhouse Wheeler

A poetic subversion of the ancient Greek myth of Persephone in which the young goddess abducted by Hades is not a passive victim but a cunning protagonist who actively resists the narrative that has historically held her captive.

Thank you NetGalley for the chance to read and review this book!

It's no secret that I love Greek mythology! So a retelling of the myth of Persephone, but in verse., seems absolutely perfect for me! 

I liked the poems at the start, but you do need to read them out loud to yourself to like them, but found it hard ton understand the story towards the end; I'll definitely read this book again and probably change my rating. For now, this was a great idea and well executed.
