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.

Scarlett does it again! Another amazing read! This whole series has become a comfort series for me and has been helping me heal from someone who was my Lexa. I loved the addition of  Ariadne and  Dionysus was chefs kiss! They have easily become a new favorite couple along with Hades and Persephone. Also Hermes is still up to his antics and many times I was doubled over laughing. This series just keeps getting better and better. Cannot wait for Chaos!

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!!!
