Decadent cyberpunk cities. Greek mythology and giant mechs. Hades and Persephone as you've never seen them before

For generations, colossi have besieged the gates of Elysium. Each day the city's fall comes closer.

As one of Elysium's rulers, Hades has long sought to break this stalemate. In Persephone, a cyborg tailor-made to kill, she finds they key to victory and the perfect pilot for her war machine. She will acquire Persephone at any cost.

Born to wield violence and with the bloodthirst to match, Persephone chafes under her mother's control. At the first opportunity she brutally breaks free and seeks sanctuary with the unlikeliest of patrons: the Lord of the Machine Dead, the Master of the Underworld.

All Hades and Persephone have to do to realize their goals is to navigate the city's treacherous politics - and survive the coming war.

reviewed The Hades Calculus by Maria Ying

Delightful, Surprising, Well-executed, overhyped?

The duo behind the psuedonym Maria Ying deliver a compelling tale of messed up lesbians embroiled in the politics and violence of a far flung Olympian future. However, following the fandom reaction lead me to believe I was going to experience an even more stark and depraved setting than was provided. Very happy with what I read, excited for more when it comes, but another tally in the "you should never read twitter" column.
