Diemer so much for creating this world that I was privileged to see. I can't believe someone had such creativity to write a book like this and I admire Ms./Mrs. I honestly wish that this was the tale and not the horrid one that we know of. more s tale of the Queen of the Underworld. With every page I was brought into the world of the Greek gods and goddesses and given a new perspective on the famou. The raw and incredible details made me feel like I was Persephone. Review 2: I have never read anything like this in my entire life. Her debut novel, The Dark Wife, the YA, lesbian retelling of the Persephone myth, won the 2012 Golden Crown Literary Award for Speculative Fiction, and was nominated for a Parsec Award (first two chapters of the audiobook). Review 1: Basically I liked Hades' portrayal there, I liked the feminist themes prominent throughout the book, I was super excited there's a GLBT-friendly interpretation of this couple but I wasn't that fond of the author's prose/writing and as a result of said writing, much to my disappointment, I found it a bit difficult to connect with Persephone as a character, even if I did feel sympathy for her for her situation in the beginning and was glad that she was eventually able to stand up for herself and the people she loves. Diemer is an award-winning author of lesbian young adult (YA), speculative fiction.
