At first I was unsure about this being book 2 in the series as it follows the same plot as book 1 but from Hades’ POV. I thought I might get bored but no it added so much more.

This book builds the world even further and introduces us to more of the Greek gods, goddesses and creatures.

It was so interesting seeing Hades’ side to the story and understand the background to his actions.

 Closed Door Mod: Chapters 18-22 (some parts), Chapters 24-27 (some parts), Chapter 29 (some parts) 

Most of what I liked about this book was the same from A Touch of Darkness, hence this being a shorter review. Though, I did like that there’s more of Hades’ POV and providing him with his own side plots instead of just merely recounting A Touch of Darkness from his POV.

Knowing Hades’s pov added to the appreciation and enjoyment of A Touch of Darkness, even if he was horny 80% of the time

Hermes is iconic, and Hades’s and Hecate’s friendship is adorable

but the audiobook narrator is horrendous, it’s like Siri had a baby with ai, he did Hades so dirty
