I love that Scarlett St. Clair wrote the Hades books. I love knowing what Hades is getting up to when he's not with Persephone. I especially enjoyed this book because I felt so frustrated with him during A Touch of Ruin. I feel like he was barely with Persephone, and while the events in this book aren't an excuse, they do make sense and do so much of the world building the readers need to know about. I love watching Hades and Persephone grow as characters and I love watching their relationship evolve. 

Another thing I really enjoy about this series so far is the attention to detail and the attention to side characters. I am not sure that I have ever read another book where the side characters, were fleshed out so well and are just about as important to the storyline as the main characters. I appreciate that about this series so much, and am excited to continue reading this author's works.
