A review by theirianthrope
Cruel Seduction by Katee Robert

fast-paced

3.5

The world-building and sex scenes were A++ and I enjoyed the polyamory going on, but some of the dynamics felt rushed.

For some reason Aphrodite and Pandora didn't quite work for me until later on - Pandora is supposed to love Hephaestus (platonically) so much and care about him, but she's going to bang the person they all know is plotting to take him down and let her use Pandora to help her? I wish we had gotten more of a rift between her and Hephaestus first (rather than him pissing her off once) or felt more of a moral dilemma in her POVs. Also she just came across as naive and horny which is, fine, but as a character she fell flat most of the time.
