I know I'm repeating myself but I screamed hell yeah when I saw that a new book was available from Kate and even better it was my favourite couple.
Not gonna lie tho, it felt a bit repetitive and honestly I rather read books with dual POVs but I'll take what I can.
The writing was exquisite as always, after all this time Kate manages to keep her writing style the same, which is great. I mean otherwise it would just read differently you know and I guess it would throw off some.
I have received the eArc of this book and I'm leaving the review voluntarily.

a pleasurable story for a fan
I’ve read the original Persephone version, Queen of Night — itself a five-star read — and I have to say this version is just as good, if not better. There is more development of Hades’ character and of his relationship with Persephone, as well as with other characters. This book resolves a lot more of the open threads left in the original, and the extended epilogue is fantastic. Literally the only complaint I have is with the title — it really doesn’t make sense to me, considering the actual content — but that’s a minor issue.
I would definitely recommend this book and this series! Especially anyone who has wondered what really might have happened between Hades and Persephone in the myth.

More than Heart of Hades, this one adds to their shared story, and we get much more from Hades that isn't just a reflection of what we have in Persephone's POV. Much of it is the same as Queen of Night, but we see more of Tartarus and Hades' relationship with people other than Sephy and it really makes a difference.
If nothing else, READ HADES' EPILOGUES. There's far more from his POV than Persephone's and better fills in that hundred year gap we see in Queen of Night.

I loved reading this story through Persephone's POV. Reading and seeing through Hades's tho was amazing too. I am so happy that Katherine wrote this duology.
I can never get enough of retellings by Katherine and I hope she never stops!.

Katherine Macdonald left you anxiously hanging on the edge of your seat in Heart of Hades but she will make you fly with Heart of Tartarus! This book meets every expectation you would expect from such a seamlessly crafted story and a writer of Macdonald’s caliber. Full of angst, battles, wit and hope, Heart of Tartarus follows Hades through the pits of Tartarus where it is impossible to discern friend from foe when his only goal is to return to the Underworld and Persephone. With brilliant twists on well-known mythological characters -and the introduction of some new ones -Heart of Tartarus feels like a familiar bedtime story that is full of surprises and twists. The epilogues are EVERYTHING you could ever want to completely satisfy your curiosity about ‘what happened after’ and will have you swooning, crying and grinning to yourself. This series is guaranteed to draw you in and turn you into a fae fantasy and mythology fan. If you love Lore Olympus or the Wicked Lovely series, these books are calling for you!

Reading this duology from Hades's perspective reminded me how much I adore him and Sephy. As emotional as this book made me, I loved every moment. This series is forever going to be among my favorites.
