This book was sort of a miss for me, though not completely.  While I love Hades’ POV, I don’t think we got enough additional information for this book to be as long as it was.

What I enjoyed the most was Dionysus and Ariadne.  Even after everything, they continued to bicker and taunt each other.  The bonus interview with Hermes was hilarious.

Im hoping a Touch of Chaos wraps everything up nicely because I have dedicated myself to five books (three of which were essentially just rewritten from Hades’ POV.

I’ve been reading this series in tandem and loved the first books but this one didn’t hold my interest as much. It dragged on a bit and I had no interest in the perspectives other than Hades.

I really enjoyed this book. This was probably my favorite storyline so far and it was great to read Hades' perspective. I loved the interactions with Hermes and Hectate. Dionysus was fine, but didn't keep me entertained as much as the Hades x Persephone story. Can't believe I have to wait over two months for the finale!!!
