Tbh, this book was hard to get through. The end had me on my toes, but up until then it was a chore. There was a ton of repetition (esp. in the smutty scenes), which made it feel really boring. I loved her book King of Battle and Blood, so I'm just not sure how this series got so far away from that.

I am thoroughly disappointed with this series, especially this book.
SSC spends so much time with H x P having sex, that she takes away from the rest of the plot. If there was more attention to that, and not every time Hades f***s Persephone, then it actually might have been a good book. Because of this too, Hades character has no development. It was like SSC only had him written in to be Persephone’s f***buddy.
It pissed me off, and I hate that SSC is dragging this out with a fourth in the series. She should’ve just stopped after the first one.

Pacing was strange, things just seemed to happen to the characters for no reason, scenes were rushed. Least favorite of the three books I've read, however, the end goal, main villains were more pronounced and obvious than the second of this series.
