I enjoyed this installment but so far, it was definitely my least favorite. I felt like the relationships progressed way too fast into love, felt almost insta-love like, which is not a trope I typically enjoy. I was more invested in the broader story around Olympus and Minos's plan than I was in the relationship(s) in this one.  The main focus here is Aphrodite who has been "forced" into a marriage with Hapheastus thus leading to her ending her relationship with Adonis. The relationships in this one are super messy in a fun, reality show kind of way, and I did enjoy that. Will definitely be continuing this series!
