Greek mythilogy has always been a huge interest for me since we first started talking about it in 6th grade. I think it was all the gods and their powers and the fact that they were portrayed as mean gods who wouldn't even help mortals when they really needed it or they were portrayed as the gods who did too much for mortals.Persephone is a bit of both (and I mean the story itself not the MC). The MC, Persephone, is a very sweet and caring character who just happens to be a goddess. Her being a goddess becomes a problem becasue the evil Boreas is after her! Which is where Hades, the Lord of the Underworld steps in and makes her his wife so that she isn't captured. That is where all the advetures begin!Persephone I found to be soooo realisitc in her personality. She reminded me of my younger sister, Lucia, in almost every way (which kind of freaked me out a bit because now I'm keeping an eye on the boys she's talking to hoping they aren't Hades!). I could see that she would go above and beyond for people and that is quality that a lot of the gods are sorely lacking! Now Hades on the other side, I, as well as Persephone, many times wanted to shake a little. I think I might have developed a little crush on him (even though I did want to shake!). He is a SOMEWHAT caring god and will actually listen even if he can't do anything about your situation.The story takes us through Persephone finding out she's a goddess, geting married and dealing with the Underworld and everything that comes with these three. At times I felt as though I was a ghost seeing everything develop around me with all the character and the issues they face and sympathizing and empathizing. This beginning is the perfect setting for whatever is to come next and let me tell ya, I AM EXCITED
