Neon Gods

DNF at 50%

This entire thing centers on the intimate relationship between Hades and Persephone. And by intimate, I mean, a specific kink acted out in extreme detail. And while I don't condemn it or the people who are into it, it is absolutely not for me. And because it is so intimate in its nature, reading about it makes me extremely uncomfortable. I considered skipping the parts related to it, but honestly this entire book is a set up for the intimate relationship - the Gods of Olympus and the conflict between upper and lower city - it's all an excuse to put our characters in the situation that will allow them to explore this kink. Skipping those parts basically means skipping most of the book. And at that point, why even read it?
So, as much as I hate to do that, I decided to DNF the book at 50%. This way, I won't just save myself some terrible discomfort, but I also won't have to give a low rating to a book, just because of something that is so specific to me.
