I'll just come right out and say it so you don't run after me with pitchforks later. ***Spoiler Fucking Alert***Damn. This book started out so good. First chapter in gives us Haden, disgraced son of King Ren of the Underrealm. Haden gets chosen by the Oracle to complete a quest in the Overrealm, much to the disdain of his twin (asshole) brother as well as his father. His quest? To bring back a Boon, a girl. Not just any girl. A very important one. One that is the key to saving the Underrealm. AWow really interesting twist on Hades & Persephone myth. I can't believe I have to wait til next year to find out what happens.
An Electronic Advanced Reader Copy was provided by the publisher via Edelweiss for review.I really enjoyed this one. It was super long but I was never bored for some reason. There was always something happening to keep the plot moving. Not a whole lot of romance which is refreshing! And I love how I'm thrust right into the world, and I couldn't leave. I just wanted to know more. Even though there are multiple point of views, I wasn't confused, and it made the experience that much more brighter.I
This is a really good read, especially if you're into mythology and music. When I first started I was hesitant because of it's length. Normally, books around 400 pages give too much info to take in, but Despain integrates it really well and it never feels like it is too much, and this is at 500 pages. The story really does move fast and builds up but by the end the big confrontation is kind of boring.The actual myths involved are explained in multiple ways and I enjoyed having both Hayden and

I love Hayden. He's the kind of guy I want to read more about. I loved learning interesting things in this book like about music disorders and how to deal with drunk, rock star fathers. Loved the twist on the Persephone story. Really fun stuff! Favorite thing? The hellcat.
This and my other reviews can be found at http://amethystbookwyrm.blogspot.co.uk/Thanks to Edelweiss and EgmontUSA for giving me this book to review. Haden is the shunned prince of the Underrealm, but he, instead of his favoured twin brother, is chosen by the oracle to be sent to the Olympus Hills in the mortal realm. His job is to gain the trust of one girl in 6 months and bring her back as the boon to the Underrealm. All Daphne Raines want to be is a singer and move away from her tiny town.
