I'll start off by saying that I have read the Hades saga from Scarlett St. Clair and I actually liked the Adrian x Isolde storyline a little better. The story is told from Isolde's perspective which, I thought was done well but there could have been a little more character development throughout the book. Their is a lot of spiciness, for some it's a lot, to me I think it's fine (it is a romance book so spiciness is expected). I wish Adrian was in more of the scenes but when he did make an appearance, I thought the storyline was a little better. Maybe we'll get a book from Adrian's perspective like the Hades saga but who knows. The ending was okay, I think it was building up to it. Will probably read the next book in the series.

I did find Isolde’s love/ hate thing became annoying especially later on in the book. It made her character fall flat for me. I think all the characters had so much more potential for development than they were given. Ironically, I think Adrian’s character was the most well done. He had solid motives and I do think the audience sees him grow throughout the book. Isolde just needed to make up her own damn mind.
The world building was awful though. I wanted to know so much more than the author provided to us. There were definitely things happening but I found myself just waiting for the next smut scene.

It’s a vampire novel so the violence and blood descriptions happen quite often later in the book.belava's review against another edition
