This had the makings to be a good book, but I didn't really work for me. Persephone was very whiny and she didn't really want to listen to what other people had to tell her. She knew she was in danger, but she still acted reckless, which I understand because her friend was being held hostage, but I think there easily coul have been a safer way to deal with it. I love mythology, so I thought this would be a fun read, but I was just really dissapointed.
