This is truly Trista Mateer's best work yet. Her voice is so strong in all of her works, especially Persephone Made Me Do It. It's so raw and full of emotion and passion while also being beautifully written. The juxtaposition of art and poems is perfect; each art piece seems so thoughtfully chosen. I love the way she's connected her story to the goddesses in her other books in this series; this one hits especially hard because it's not romanticizing Persephone, it's telling her real story. It's such a nuanced take on mother and daughter relationships that's so universally true. I hope she continues this series (I'd especially love to see Nyx and Hestia), but if this is the finale, it's a very good one.
