This is another of these – a young adult version. I seek out retellings and analyses of the Persephone/Hades myth like most people read crime novels. Persephone is my favourite Goddess, because she is the balance of light and dark – Goddess of Spring, Queen of the Underworld. Of all the Greek myths, the story of Persephone and Hades is my favorite. In a land where a singing river can make you forget your very name, Persephone is forced to discover who-and what-she really is. A choice that could destroy all she's come to love, even the earth itself. A stranger who promises something more-something dangerous and exciting-something that spurs Persephone to make a daring choice. Just when Persephone feels there's no chance of escaping the life that's been planned for her, a mysterious stranger arrives. But her mother's a goddess, as overprotective as she is powerful. Persephone lives in the most gorgeous place in the world. I want to keep my senses like this forever. I know I should leave, but I don't want to. I can feel it reverberate in my chest and echo all the way down to my toes. Book 21: Radiant Darkness by Emily Whitman – 274 pages
