Better than the first two books but wish there was a bit less sex. I’m fine with spicy books but when over 80% of the book is sex scenes it gets a little old

Well, I read all three books, hoping the writing would improve. The story is constantly interrupted by whatever sex scene can be whipped up next. It seemed like the author used the Karma Sutra page by page to come up with something. I'm not opposed to sex and romance. It's just all of it was so repetitive, overdone, laughable. Roll-your-eyes boring after a short while. It forces you to start skimming. Literally, nothing got done within the storyline due to the constant sex scene interruptions and no exaggeration that it happened every other page. Very poor and disappointing, choppy writing.

The third instalment did not disappoint. The aftermath of

Lexa’s dip in the River Lethe

makes for the most gut-wrenching beginning to what was a excellent book in the series. Hades and Persephone’s

marriage in the middle of the book had my heart full and happy.

I genuinely love the characters and found this to the most tense in the entire series. Far more plot driven than the first two.
