Diverse cast of characters? No
Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

I really enjoyed the action of the trials and our main characters bonding and working together throughout them. But the romance was a hard no for me. I could NOT get into it. I also couldn't get behind a pasificistic Hades.

So I really liked this book, enjoyed the plot and the characters but I do have one grievance... spoiler alert...

I am a Hades and Persephone stan, so I cannot help but be annoyed / disappointed / all of the negative feelings about Hades falling for this Ara chic. The line of 'burning the world' was even used and that's a solid NO from me. He only wants to burn the world for Persephone!

I had hoped at the end of the games or at the end of her mortal life, she would be reborn a goddess and therefore reborn as Persephone. While becoming a goddess was mentioned, I think the author missed a trick here by not confirming she would become Persephone?!?!

I'll stop raving about Hades and Persephone now and wind this up by saying I do reccomend this book
