About this deal
You truly feel a part of the story while reading it and I was always wanting to go back and continue reading whenever I put it down. From the bestselling author Ben Alderson comes a fantastical and spicy reimagining of the Hades and Persephone tale. I have to admit it did take me about 30% of the book for me to really get behind Arlo, but Feynir was such an amazing character. I may have read this book in a day, but that was more out of if I don't finish it now, I never will.

It was the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 at the time (at least this is what my review says). I've read almost all of his published works at this point and have seen many of his social media posts. To uphold the promise he made to his parents, ensuring the protection of his sister from the world and its dangers.

This jarred me so badly that I had to go back and make sure that I didn't miss a portion of the book. Still ima continue this series because its brainless entertainment and im interested in seeing what happens. A small child dies, then an entire servants quarters catches on fire, killing more children and servants, two of Faenir's relatives die, then Myrinn dies, then Claria dies and to top it all off, Arlo dies and becomes a vampire.

So many questions I had were left unanswered or things just didn’t make sense plot wise for the political aspects here. That is usually fine with retellings but the political aspect in this story didn’t work for me either since the world building for the elves was not fletched out at all so I couldn’t care less for who the ruler would be because we didn’t know what their impact was like. There was no writing about them getting dressed or fixing themselves up to be suitable for a bonding ceremony; Faenir just removed the shadows and they walked out. I was lucky enough to have been sent an arc of Ben Andersons upcoming fantasy book, and the next installment of the Darkmourn series: King of Immortal Tithe. Like, when I read the very last sentence of King and completely finished the book, I did brust out laughing.
