I'm thrilled to share how much I appreciate the opportunity to be part of the tour for "Dear Hades" by Alyssa Roat and Hope Bolinger, thanks to iRead Book Tours! This book is such a captivating blend of Greek heroes and creatures set in the modern world, providing a fresh perspective on teenage life. I absolutely loved how the characters were reimagined for a modern audience, allowing us to view the heroes from a different angle and evaluate their actions through today's standards. The way the "monsters" were depicted with empathy and unity was truly heartwarming.
While I had some reservations about the portrayal of Persephone and Hades, especially in relation to her mother, I found the resolution brought a lot of depth to the story, earning my solid recommendation. The romantic element intertwined with the characters' myths was beautifully done, offering a satisfying resolution to their challenges. I also found the use of a "tinder-like" app a clever and engaging device, and I'm hopeful that the physical edition of the book will reflect this in an appealing way.
In summary, "Dear Hades" is an immensely enjoyable contemporary romance, particularly for readers intrigued by Greek mythology. I'm grateful for the chance to delve into this wonderful world, and I'm enthusiastic about recommending it to others!
