Product Information

She makes the choice to go to the Underworld to avoid having to get married, and she boldly decides to redecorate and make herself at home, which was inspiring and hilarious in equal measures. This was one of my most anticipated reads for this year, I have been looking forward to reading Girl, Goddess, Queen from the moment it was announced. I feel that whilst their friendship was explored well, the pining didn't really work out for me, which really made me dissapointed as I wanted to love it so much but I just couldn't.

Her mother and father force marriage on her and instead she escapes from it by running to Hades The place and the king. I literally find it impossible to choose just one quote to share, so [insert 100 favourite and memorable quotes] here.It was an easy read, it was fast paced, I stayed engaged throughout, and it made the mythology very accessible. Girl, Goddess, Queen is an incredibly fun and wonderfully crafted reimagining of a beloved myth - bringing to life timeless gods, the complex intimacy of family bonds, a fierce protagonist, and a passionate slow-burn romance. A fresh feminist take on a classic myth, Girl, Goddess, Queen is ripe with yearning, humour and wit. The romance is perfectly paced, complementing rather than overriding the anxieties and expectations that both characters wrestle with throughout the book.

Or even better, how is he supposed to know when all she does is lie to everyone and be proud of it, but the first instance she doesn't get told something, she is outraged and threatens to burn the world down. It does explore some heavier topics and briefly mentions topics such as misogyny, sexual assault and the trauma of War, so I definitely suggest checking TWs beforehand.It's from here where Persephone enters the Underworld, starts changing things and discovers the true Hades that the story started to go downhill for me. When her mother, Demeter, and father, Zeus, decide it’s time for her to marry and head of to find the perfect match Kore decides to take matters in her own hands.
