SYNOPSIS
Persephone is the daughter of the goddess Demeter and she lives in the most beautiful place in the world. You’d think that Persephone is in paradise, but your wrong. Demeter won’t let Persephone do what she wants; she won’t let Persephone grow up, she won’t let Persephone attend festivals or ceremonies, and she would never let Persephone see a man. Knowing the fact that Persephone is immortal, its the end of her world, right? Well, wrong. A mysterious and dark man shows up unexpectedly to let Persephone live a new life. The man promises something exciting and fun, and Persephone won’t have to worry about a thing. Persephone makes a choice that can change not only her life, but the lives of others forever.
MY OPINION
First of all, do NOT read the summary of the book. You know that page where the copyright info is and who published the book and what genre the book is in? Yeah, don’t read the summary part because it will tell you the story in one sentence. I was maybe forty pages into the book when I read the summary, and I thought, “Really? Do you have to tell me the story in one sentence?” I pretty much read the story knowing what would happen in the end, but I enjoyed reading it anyway. I love Greek mythology! Ever since I read Percy Jackson and the Olympians, reading different versions of Greek myths was something I loved to read. Emily Whitman’s version of Persephone’s story is less violent, and I think I like her version better than the original! Seeing what choices Persephone would make without her mother was really interesting to read. If you like Greek myths, quick reads, and happy endings, then Radiant Darkness is recommended for you!
