This was an absolutely wonderful, fun, fluffy, romance story set in a magical world that I adored!
This book is a retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth, but with elves instead of gods, and it was one of the better retellings I have read. It played on the enemies to lovers trope (a classic) and gave us just enough steamy scenes while still having a strong plotline.
I was amazed at how well the author was able to characterize and world-build in a single novel - giving us a complete story that left me satisfied at the end.
Very small, maybe not even a spoiler, but still:
My one complaint was near the ending of the book, with a decision made by a character that made me frustrated. I understood that it was a plot device, but I felt we could've cut the middle man out. With only a few chapters left, I didn't think we needed this specific scene to build tension as it was already built. but of course, it led to that happily ever after moment that I didn't hate, so I don't know, just frustrated me.
Overall, if you like romance movies, and you like light fantasy novels, then I think you will enjoy this perfect blend!

Slowburn
Can we take a moment to appreciate this gorgeous cover art for the book? Seriously, the art is stunning! That being said, the story itself was pretty good. It seems inspired by Persephone x Hades. The romance in this book is really slow burn, and the romance scenes aren't very detailed (if you're into that kind of stuff-- if not, then this book should be alright for you in that regard! It keeps it nice and tame.)The main character is honestly a bit much for me, personality wise. Her constant obsession with her home and duty, but only to her home, is excessive and makes me not like the character. At all. It takes until the very end of the story before she finally starts becoming a character I can appreciate, but it was such a long wait just for that.I really wanted to like this book, and while the world and plot are interesting, I just can't see myself buying the next book (I think there's another after this?). At the end of the day, I did enjoy this book, but it wasn't my cup of tea.
