Thanks for the advanced copy of this book! I really really like retellings of Hades and Persephone, each one is unique in its own way. I really liked it and how it also showed the relationship between Persephone and her mother. I really feel like so many people can relate to it as well. I would recommend to fans of H & P retellings!

Blew this this book in a day and absolutely loved it! There are a lot of Hades and Persephone retellings out there, but this one sets itself apart with its unique take on Persephone's backstory and its engaging dual perspectives! Definitely highly recommended for any fans of Greek mythology out there! Thank you to Rising Action Publishing Co. and NetGalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I received this book as an ARC but the review is entirely my own opinion.

I really enjoyed this novel!

The story follows the POVs of mother, Demeter, and daughter, Persephone after Persephone is stolen by Hades into the underworld.

I loved the juxtaposition of the characters and their points of view. I really felt for Persephone and her plight not only with her mother, but as her relationship with Hades developed.

I could have kept reading more into the life of the couple after Persephone came into herself as they were heartwarming!

📖📖 Book Review 📖📖 Disclaimer: I am by no means well read in Greek mythology but my 11-year old daughter is and so I like to try to expand my horizons to try and carry on conversations with her. Persephone and a Demeter are a common topic of conversation at our dinner table and so Angie Paxton’s new novel Seeds seemed like a perfect book to dive right into!

A mother’s love is powerful but it is not without mistakes and countless errors made along the way. Told in dual perspectives, Seeds re-examines the classic Greek myth of this mother and daughter in a dynamically fresh and in-depth perspective that will resonate into a whole new millennium. The concept of paying for the sins of our parents is still one that our generation tackles and Paxton does a brilliant job making Greek mythology relevant and poignantly beautiful in a riveting manner. Hades is also written in a beautifully gripping fashion that provokes reevaluation of the archetypal portrayal of the god of the underworld. Kudos to Angie Paxton on an absolutely captivating and beautiful novel!
