3.5

I really enjoyed this - the plot was so much more intriguing than A Touch of Darkness with the Sisyphus/Triad storyline. I also enjoyed more interactions with the other gods - Zeus, Poseidon, Hephaestus etc.

Because this is the same story as A Touch of Darkness but from Hades’ POV, I was worried this would be boring. But learning more about Hades’ motivations and feelings, plus the Triad subplot, made this intriguing. 

My only reason for not rating this higher is I felt the spicy scenes became so frequent and back to back that I started to get a bit bored of them… the pace trailed off towards the end.
Spoiler I’m concerned the other books are going to be boring now that they’re together, but I’ll still read them.
