It’s the same book as a touch of darkness but from hades PoV and it’s still just as good. Fell in love all over again

I'd say a touch of darkness was a tad bit better but I still really enjoyed seeing hades pov and the story was interesting.

To be fair I did not read A Touch of Darkness that is told from Persephone's perspective so I can't comment on how it compares to that POV. Having said that, I think that having a different perspective is nice to have and seeing it from Hades perspective is interesting. It does feel like he is more carnal in his thoughts and desires of Persephone and if you know anything about the actual myth

you know that Hades ends up trapping Persephone in the underworld. The plot seems to get lost within all the sex Hades and Persephone has in the later half of the book.

I read persys pov first wasn’t aware hades pov existed but it was neat to see things from his perspective I enjoyed it but it the books did feel like repeats. Persys story was more intriguing to me but there was so much detail in this one it’s difficult to wrap my mind around everything that’s happening beginning to end.

Just a note: it's hard for me to separate the triggering events in this book from those in "A Touch of Darkness," as I read them back to back. I may have listed some content warnings that are more applicable to "A Touch of Darkness" than to this book from Hades' POV, so I'm sorry if this is the case! Most of the important events are the same, however, so I think that most warnings from "A Touch of Darkness" would make this list nonetheless.
