The penultimate book in the Hades X Persephone series and the war is starting to unfold. This book not only has Hades perspective, but also Dionysius and Thesus. While jarring at first, it made the story that much richer.
In both this book and the fifth one (Persephone's perspective of these events), the spice felt overdone. It was as often as five pages apart. And while both of the main characters know that sex doesn't solve problems caused by miscommunication, they constantly use it as a band-aid. 
Overall, this installment was amazing and I am excited to see how the series ends.

It is taking all that is in me right now to not immediately jump into A Touch of Chaos. The cliffhanger at the end of this and A Touch of Malice is going to make it hard to sleep tonight (it is almost midnight). In this book we get a POV from a few different characters including Theseus (who the author did a fabulous job making him a hateable character imo). I loved that we got to see more of Dionysus and Ariadne in this one as well. Along with the other typical characters. I cannot wait to read A Touch of Chaos!
