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

This is Book 2 of the A Touch of Darkness Series, first book in the Hades Saga. I like how similar Hades’ thoughts are to Persephone’s in their conjoined scenes. Compared to A Touch of Darkness, Persephone seems more bold and confident here. I also like how Hecate and Hermes show up more! Hecate is the mother both Persephone and Hades needed.

I gobbled this up. Like the first book, it was a fun time but not a well-written time. Though this book definitely had more plot moving the story along (which I appreciated). However, the plot got lost at parts throughout the book. I also felt like the romance part of the book was less compelling and more horny. We also saw a little bit more of Hades’ dark side which fleshed out his character. I feel like the first and second books could have been combined and condensed to make a better story overall, but I’m not made I listened to this 12 hour audiobook.

this series is one of my absolute favourites! i’ve read the 3 books from persephone’s pov, which i loved, and i love hades’s pov just as much. i’d say he’s a character that is usually short, to the point, and honest, but this book (and the 2 after) give so much more insight to what goes on in his mind with and without persephone around. scarlett is one of my favourite authors and has been for years <3

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.
