Negatives:
- ‘Are you well?’ said about 500 times.
- Again, sex seems to be the cure-all of all Hades’ and Persephone's problems.
- Some chapters had about five sex scenes in 15 pages. Quite the overkill. They started to feel like filler chapters.
- I had to remind myself very often that she’s a goddess, because she’s written so much like a mousy, insecure young student.
Positives:
- Hecate, Apollo, Hermes! I LIVE for their storylines.
- Easy read, good flow most of the time.
Will probably read the last book, as I’ve come so far by now.
