Bella CoulterOverall, this novel contained the perfect amount of spice in order to fully convey the desires of both Hades and Persephone. Alongside this, the author progressed the story in a way that allowed for a necessary mix of romance and conflicts. However, I felt that the writing itself was not mature enough to express the emotional depth that was required. I don’t mean this in terms of how she elaborated on the sexual aspects of the novel, rather, I mean the conversations between the characters and how she discussed feelings as a third perspective. Additionally, certain aspects of this piece were redundant. Therefore, certain paragraphs could have been completely removed and would have allowed for a more concise story.

Bella CoulterThis novel was perfect from start to finish. It was extremely difficult for me to put this down due to the way the author effortlessly discussed all of the emotions of the characters through each of their perspectives. She truly understood the beauty in perfectly describing everything that she wrote about. This includes the scenery, attractive characters, etc. Alongside this, there was no unnecessary words due to her lack of redundancy. In terms of the storyline, I would have preferred more time between Achilles and Briseis. However, I recognize that the author progressed the story based on the actual Iliad rather than playing more into her own fantasy. Overall though, this novel was perfection in every regard.

Overall, this play was well written and showed the unjust nature of how the Salem witch trials played out.

As for the romance itself, I loved both Ash and Eva’s characters and every aspect of their relationship. They both valued one another and I wasn’t cringed out very often throughout this story.
