No Season but the Summer

This started off veeeery promising. I loved the beautiful, lyrical prose at the beginning and the premise of examining climate change and urbanisation through the perspective of mythology (the antropomorphisation of the issue being an excellent opportunity to impress the urgency of the matter in an effective and refreshing way). But after a while the prose started feeling repetitive and unfocused and the plot started falling apart, losing the strong connection to the plot it needed in order to remain gripping. By the end, I was just very bored and I could not wait for this to be over.

I tried to get into this. The premise of Persephone dealing with climate change is a great idea besides the usual rehash. This story was incredibly flat for me and not one of the characters was interesting enough to care about.
