Persephone is the second novel in the Amazon Original series, Into Shadow. This collection has seven shorts in total, all from different authors – many of whom I adore. This one was written by Lev Grossman, who I’ve read, but I’ll admit it’s been a hot minute. Might have to fix that. Continue reading →
