Not my favorite book in the series but a good book nonetheless. I loved the spice, the relationship growth between Hades and Persephone, and the strength and intensity of so many female characters specifically Hecate. I didn't enjoy everything involving Dionysus, how similar this read to A Touch of Malice, and that cliffhanger!

This book was sort of a miss for me, though not completely.  While I love Hades’ POV, I don’t think we got enough additional information for this book to be as long as it was.

What I enjoyed the most was Dionysus and Ariadne.  Even after everything, they continued to bicker and taunt each other.  The bonus interview with Hermes was hilarious.

Im hoping a Touch of Chaos wraps everything up nicely because I have dedicated myself to five books (three of which were essentially just rewritten from Hades’ POV.
