I really loved this trilogy. Definitely my favourite Hades and Persephone retelling to date. But whyyyyyyyyy was it so short?!?!

Very decent ending to a very decent series. It’s not mind blowing but it’s a fun little relaxing time. I liked the characters and the writing is quite good. The plot could have been a bit more intricate but sometimes simple and without any surprises is good too.

Hoped that at least the last book will be a little better than the first two but unfortunately it was worse.
It was rushed, full of clichés, kept repeating what was already said in the first books and most of all I didn't feel Seraphia's love for Hades at all. She kept using him and treating him like a machine and at the same time saying she will save him but without giving at least a comforting word or show a little care for him, until the end when she suddenly realized that she loves him. Hmm

Loved it
I had to grow to like the mythology unfolding in this series given minor cameos Deities had in previous connected series. I love the way Linsey Hall neatly ties it altogether and creates a masterpiece. I am eagerly awaiting the next series!

I really wanted to like this serie but I detested Seraphia so much that I couldn't. She was only nice to Hades when it was good for her, kept him close just in case she needs him. Her behavior with him was almost gaslighting that I couldn't like the books because of that.

I read this series so quickly that I'm rating/reviewing the series overall, not the individual books.
I feel like my review criteria is wacky and all over the map, but it's 2020 and everything goes right now.
I enjoyed this series. It could have used a more thorough editing job (after reading this whole series, I can tell you the author's favorite words and phrases which really shouldn't be the case), so probably is more like a 3.5 stars. But it hit me at the right place at the right time.
It is not for everyone, but if you like Greek Mythology and grumpy/sunshine stories packed with tension, you might enjoy this book/series.
Note: I did not read the series preceding this one. I'm not a huge fan of vampire stories and the other series didn't intrigue me like this one did.
PG-13 for romantic reasons.

Awesome
I though this was a great conclusion to the series involving Seraphia and Hades! I can’t wait to see what happens next!!

I barely made it through the entire series. After the first part I thought, not ideal but depending on how this continues it might still get better. Part way through the second book I started skimming over the pages because it was just so boring and repetitive. In this final book the plot is extremely rushed and I was so sick of her harping on about how deep down there’s good in him. Likewise him being tortured about feeling something gets old really fast at this point. They just rush from place to place, every obstacle is almost immediately removed. At no point is there any suspense, it all works out exactly as you would expect it to. I read this because I enjoyed the first Shadow Guild Series and I still think that Guild city is a great concept with so much potential. However now I’m not so sure that I’ll continue with the other series.
