Waiting On Wednesday (32) Before I Fall by Lauren.

RADIANT DARKNESS just came out in hardcover. In any case, this is an excellent read for fans of Greek mythology and those who’d like to know more about it. He’s depicted as a very manipulative, selfish guy (not untypical for men, ha!) and Persephone is so naïve and desperate, she probably would’ve run off with ANY guy who showed up (though maybe that’s the point?). I didn’t buy that Persephone and Hades are soul mates though. This was a very clever and thoughtful spin on the Persephone myth, which even offers up a touching subplot involving a young mother Persephone meets in the underworld and her undying love for the daughter she left behind. So when Hades shows up, Persephone takes up his offer of escape eagerly, and without really thinking about the consequences.

Demeter has Persephone locked away in a vale with no men, no humans, and no fun. You see, in reality, Persephone yearns for her independence from a mother who still sees her as a little girl. Only when Zeus intercedes is Persephone allowed to return for part of each year, thus creating our seasons of spring and summer.īut then comes along RADIANT DARKNESS and with it, Persephone’s chance to set the record straight. Hades kidnaps Demeter’s daughter Persephone and takes her to the underworld and in her grief, Demeter lets the Earth go barren.
