"One does not entreat a flower to leave its soil and come live in a vase. One plucks the bloom and has done with it."

I love this author, but this one - as can be seen from the quote above - was written in an old-fashioned style that became tiresome, and the kink never quite materialized like I was expecting. Plus, I think it's official: Hades and Persephone retellings are just not for me.
