I love the Hades/Persephone myth and I did like some of this but I had issues with it. Persephone using Cupid to hit Hades with a love arrow. In theory this sounds fine, but it was written kind of coldly and it made it seem like it was a cruel manipulation to take away his freedom. It turned around but I didn't enjoy it until it did. I also didn't love Persephone much in this - it bothers me a lot that Cerebus doesn't like her. And that she's kind of mean to him. And that Hades accepts it. My favourite character was Tisi - I love the Furies. And I liked the friendship between them and Hades and the later friendship between them and Persephone. While this did redeem itself, it took too long to get there, so 3 stars from me and target audience.
