Girl, Goddess, Queen is a YA retelling of Persephone and Hades, is book one in a three book deal. I was drawn to this because I love Greek Mythology, but also because Fitzgerald was very clear that she had done her research and it showed! I thought the book was wonderfully researched and you knew where Fitzgerald had made conscious choices for example to not have Hades and Persephone be related. 

Other than that the book is very YA which is great, it does what it says on the cover. Persephone runs away to escape an arranged marriage (well jumps). There's an emphasis on how Persephone is wilful, strong-minded and if Hades just let her plan it would be really great. And Hades is the supportive character wanting her to succeed. This is very much a ' YA girl boss' retelling but without the modernisation of a present day setting.

Overall, would recommend, Fitzgerald was accurate as possible whilst retelling the story of Hades and Persephone in her own way. My Waterstones exclusive edition is on the way, excuse me while I go wait by the window for it.

Thank you to Penguin Random House Children’s UK, Penguin for the ARC in exchange for the honest review.
