Wow wow. I loved this book especially the last quarter of it. It made me so happy and hopeful and cry and heartbroken. It kept me at the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. 
Hades and Persephone’s wedding was so endearing and I’m so happy they finally got married. Not sure how I feel about this potential pregnancy trope coming up. They were hinting at it so hard and bringing it up so many times that I would find it very hard to believe if it isn’t in the next book. Also, I wish there was more fight scenes with the Olympians! It ended so abruptly and then all the drama with Sybil and Theseus happened. And wow my heart hurt when Zofie went to save them from Theseus and was killed. Ughhhh I thought we were just getting into her storyline and friendship with Persephone for her to die too soon. Then Persephone killing Demeter wowwww. I figured something would happen to make her stop but I thought they may have a heart to heart instead of her killing her mom… wow she is going to be so messed up after this war.
