He gets what's coming to him, but if anything is going to prevent you from reading this book, it's him.ĭiemer's prose is lovely and I enjoyed the scenery she created in the Underworld, the characters she developed, and the friendships between women. It's very well done, especially with regard to consent and power.Īll this said, Zeus is an absolute shitbag and I wanted to kill him. It's a very slow burn, the relationship between Persephone and Hades, both because Persephone's lover has just been turned into a plant but also because Hades wants to make sure that Persephone has time to consider all of her choices. Persephone has agency, choice, and strength in this retelling. Persephone meets Hades and finds herself taking Hades up on her offer to come to the Underworld, where Zeus can't reach her. He's the King of the Gods and he gets what he wants. It's not long before Persephone realizes that when her father says he wants to take Persephone to Olympus, he means to treat her the same as he treats Demeter and every other being he considers less than himself.

The book opens with her in passionate love with a nymph, only to see Zeus (her FATHER) raping the nymph before turning her into a rosebush and disappearing. Persephone is cast as young and sheltered, but not naive.

She loves horses and her giant, monstrous puppy, and I don't know how anyone wouldn't fall head over heels in love with her.Ĭontent Warning before we go further: This review mentions sexual assault. Compassionate with the dead and forgiving of those who act against her.

What makes The Dark Wife different? Hades is a Goddess, for one thing. When done properly, retellings make their relationship a forbidden romance rather than a forced abduction and well, I am here for that every day. I adore Hades and Persephone retellings, not only because Demeter/Ceres is my BFF, but also because Hades is the ultimate bad boy. This book came to me via a recommendation by author Cathy Pegau on Twitter and I'm so very happy we were both in the same digital space that day.
