Reviewer: Melyssa
I’ve already admired
L.B Dunbar’s ability to take a tale as old as time and put a new spin on it,
one modernized for the times we’re living in now. It’s what keeps me coming
back for more with her, along with the style at which she writes.
So when the
opportunity came up to experience her in yet another light, one rich with
fantasy, but with the same kind of elements that got me hooked into her stories
to begin with, I didn’t hesitate.
Under the name Elda
Lore, she brings to life a modern retelling of classic Greek Mythology. Something
that in my younger years, with my penchant for wanting to read anything and
everything, captivated me then and through this story now, has done it again.
It was magical in the
way the story of Hades and Persephone was brought to light, while at the same
time holding onto the more emotional and sensual driven elements that make this
authors work, no matter what name it is written under, so incredibly great. I
ran the emotional gamut while reading, highs and lows, love and hate. I felt it
all. The story…these characters, and even the author herself, delivered one
hell of a story.
I will admit that at
the start it took a little getting used to, what with me having deviated away
in recent years from this type of read, but once I was able to put myself in
this world, with these characters, there was no going back. I was all in. And I
think that any fan of mythology, especially modernized retellings, or fans of
the authors previous works will feel the same if they take the chance on it.
It’s my hope though
that this won’t be a one off and we’ll be seeing more from this author, with
this style of writing in the future. I’m looking forward to being swept away
again.
My thanks to the
author and all others involved in letting me read this before official release.
This was a journey I’m so honored to have taken and I can’t wait to do it again
in the future.
