I've read each of the different Peresphone stories you listed above (minus Solstice) and each has a different twist on the original that makes them all interesting. <br />I haven't heard about Solstice before this post, so thank you for alerting me to a dystopian take on her story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075890361193230583.post-38677306147266063212013-04-08T15:37:44.520-05:002013-04-08T15:37:44.520-05:00I hope Solstice is good!

I bought a copy at least a year ago! <br /><br />Anyway, I love Persephone stories...you can tweak it in just enough ways to make each a little different, but at its core its' core still have that great love/hate story...
