Persephone's Curse was such a fun read. It's the perfect blend between magic, mythology and ultimately family dynamics.
I loved reading about the different sisters and their attributes and roles. To be honest, I didn't realize that this book was essentially a Little Women retelling until I was good way into the book, but it didn't make the experience any less enjoyable.
I wish there was a little bit more pull on the Mythology aspect to this story, I feel like they reiterated being decedents of Persephone multiple times, but I wish it was showcased more. I loved the love story between Henry and one of the sisters - how that plays a role in each sister's dynamic with him as well as the slight Orpheus and Eurydice of it all.
The pacing of this book was hit or miss for me and this reads really YA if that's not your thing. I did read this in one city, so it's nothing that deters too heavily from the book, at least for me.
Thank you Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for an eARC. All thoughts are honest and my own.
