“Long live the queen”
One of the most incredible debut novels I’ve read in a while. It was so well written and such an original take on a story that’s been used thousands of times.
I think it is important to mention that this is not a traditional love story. After all, it is a retelling of Hades and Persephone’s story, so I thought that was a given from the start. While I was reading, I literally never trusted any of the characters and my emotions were constantly conflicted, but I also thought that was the point. If you get into this book with that in mind, and you’re looking for a complex, strong female character, you will not be disappointed.
I can’t wait to read more from this author.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with the arc!

I was so excited to read Masquerade and so grateful to be given the opportunity to read it early via netgalley. It did not disappoint.
It is written so richly and I felt all the emotions that were being conveyed through Òdòdó. The rage, the betrayal, the power.
I very much enjoyed Òdòdó's character growth throughout the story and was so happy that she ended up where she did at the end.
I highly recommend reading Masquerade.
