I tandem read this with A Game of Malice and I do highly recommend reading them in this way. I have read the last two tandem as well. The only thing is I did find there was a lot more repetition in these two than there was in the previous two so I found there was a lot of repeat scenes that I skim read. 

I really did not think I would enjoy the other POVs in this but I really did, and I found they were integral to the storyline and also how I felt towards the characters. I always hated Thesus but reading his perspective and how truly evil he was make me hate him even more. I also reallly enjoyed watching Diyonusus and Ariadne’s relationship grow. I love their back story and the development between them, I really hope we get to see more of them moving forward. 

The spice is really good in all the books, and I feel like Hades perspective is slightly more descriptive and it’s really interesting seeing the spicy scenes from the different perspectives. 

Hades really grows to accept love and Persephone place within his life, and who doesn’t love a morally grey king of the dead! 

This world is so rich and intricately developed, I love the different layers and worlds and lore that has gone into it. Scarlett has such a good way of being able to break down these myths and legends and how she fed them into this world. 

The ending of this had me audibly gasping, I really need this situation to get rectified fast in the next book, and hope that we get some justice for what has been done to them. 

I cannot wait to see how they face what is coming next but I am so not ready for this to all be over. I would really like some more books in this world regarding all the other gods so I don’t really have to say goodbye!
