Let me say that I love mythology and I love it when mythology is incorporated into books.  And I especially love it when the author puts their own twist on these classic tales.  So I am here to say that this is exactly what Bevis did and it made my week.To me the book was good in the very beginning but it took at turn for fantastic when Hades brought Persephone to the Underworld.  The new approach that Bevis took while describing the Underworld made me really enjoy the world that Hades created for the souls.  In this book, he cared for them and while impassive towards their begs to return to the land of the living, he wanted them to have the best after-life (if they were worthy of it.) To me, Bevis wrote the god of the Underworld perfectly.Persephone was a great character as well (although Hades was my favorite.)  While  she longed to go back to the living realm, she still played the part of the Queen of the Underworld very well.  She makes friends with not only those who are appointed under Hades but the souls as well and when her safety is at stake, she finds that anyone who messes with the Queen, messes with the Underworld.Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!!!  And it has a twist at the end that I didn't see coming.It is a must read in my book and I hope that all of you pick up a copy and devour it like I did.Oh, and at the end of my copy, there is a little snippet of the next book and I CANNOT wait!~BookWhisperer Reviewer MC~
