Anyways, Persephone is simply … the most awful. An uncle and niece love story doesn’t quite interest most individuals. Her daddy is conveniently never discussed however I expect that makes good sense since he is Hades’ bro. Persephone is the Siren of Spring and also the child of Demeter as well as Zeus. The tale is told from Persephone’s point of view. All of that is well and also excellent yet the real personalities are where this book crumbles. They’re the abundant, stunning and well-known. They’re not actually venerated yet rather dealt with like modern celebs. In this city, called New Greece, the gods as well as sirens own the most elite clubs, dining establishments, hotels as well as other venues. I actually liked the modern take on a Greek city. The globe structure was halfway decent done. I would not say that this publication reviews like a first draft but it certainly doesn’t check out like a finished novel. I mentioned in last week’s review for The Shadows Between Us that guide had a great premise yet the author either didn’t have the ability or commitment to really follow up with it the same is true for A Touch of Darkness. I’m thoroughly anticipating seeing his character remain to be unveiled and also grow as the tale advances. His character is so multi-faceted I truly appreciate the deepness we are given and just how much of his character is unwinded as the story progresses. Hard, yet looking for the great in individuals. Hades as a personality btw? I can not get sufficient of the method he is written in this. When I completed this, I most definitely felt the high of checking out a satisfying publication rolling off me. Clair does not hold back as soon as the gasoline has actually been put and the match lit. The chemistry in between characters is off the graphes and also St. Clair has taken the initial story of Hades and Persephone and molded it into something sexy and also appealing. Yet even more so than the setting, I liked the fire in between Hades and Persephone.
Not just are we treated to the tale of Hades as well as Persephone but we are given a complete share of other Greek gods and goddesses along with a host of various other Greek myths as well as catastrophes– every one of which have actually been given a fresh, modern retelling. I like the decision to give this story a modern setup, due to the fact that allow’s face it– Greek gods and also sirens are messy as well as significant and also spiteful as well as obviously individuals would be willing to worship at their feet, delight in their support and also the media would certainly be ferocious to cover them. The exchange between every one of the characters in this book is funny and amusing. I’ve always been attracted to tales that have components of Hades as well as Persephone, but this is the very first book I have actually read that is really about those personalities themselves, albeit with a modern spin to the tale.Īnd let me inform you, after just a few chapters I was totally connected and also didn’t wish to put it down.
