Just finished reading RoM, and I really liked it. I especially liked that Aidon's actions, though good intentioned, aren't excused. I'm really picky when it comes to my Hades and Persephone retellings, so I'm glad you included that.

Thank you! I had been up in the air about how that was going to play out. When my (then boyfriend) husband was editing it he kept saying “but what if you just add in a tiny line that she says that suggests she 100% is on board with it?”

And I said “no” and had to really think about why I was saying no. A big part of me wanted to concede to his edit suggestion, but it would have change the whole timbre of the story. If she had given the complete go-ahead to him, it would have been too easy for the reader to excuse the full repercussions of Aidon’s actions.
