Review of 'Writings of Mark Twain : The Prince and the Pauper' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
This was really really good! 5*
I feel like the stories are getting better, which makes a lot of sense. Glad that Hades/Persephone wasn't the first in the series, as this one reveals some more info on the larger story arc across the books, and also makes a little more sense romantically (as in, how fast they fall for each other). Also gotta love opening a book with spice, yes. The spice is generally strong with this one (4/5), and I loved the chemistry between these two ( <spoiler>Especially Persephone's chaos colliding with Hades' need for control and order</spoiler> )
Somebody else also pointed out how adorable the triplets (Erebus, Thanatos, Charon) are here in how they are just immediately besotted with her - loved those scenes! Enough to likely re-read this book when I need a pick me up. Extra points for Cerberus just immediately adoring her.

Generally also really like Persephone here, she is really funny and I can see how she fits in just so well with the group.
So very much recommended. It's one of the most enjoyable retellings of this particular couple I've read, and left me wanting more (it's another short one). Just... yes to all.
