I've always enjoyed Greek mythology, but of all of the Gods and Goddesses, I've always been the most interested in Persephone and Hades.  Their relationship has always seemed the most interesting to me due to the huge amount of differences between the two.I liked how the Underworld was explained in this book.  It was a bit different than I've read in other books, but it was a pleasant change.  I thought it was sweet that Persephone wanted to open a flower shop in the Underworld to bring some happiness to its residents.  This book not only shows the harsh judgements that a God can make, but the sweet side of a Goddess that wants nothing more than to help everyone that she's capable of.The slowly blossoming love between Hades and Persephone was heartwarming.  Persephone is able to look past the horror of some of his actions, being mature enough to realize that it's his responsibility.  This shows great maturity, something that I've not always seen in the different retellings of Persephone's story with Hades.Overall, I absolutely loved this book and I've already wish-listed the other two books in the trilogy.  There's a little cliffhanger at the end of this book, which makes you want to continue to read that much more!Note:  I received a free copy of this book for honest review.
