Least fav book of the series.

honestly…. it wasn’t worth the wait.

it drug on for EIGHTY PERCENT of the book. Ariadne and Dionysus were the only redeeming parts of this book.

Until SSC went a little too heavy handed on the implications of SA. Like… it was pretty obvious thats what Thesus had in mind… I didn’t need to read about how he set up each encounter… While none of it was explicit, it was enough to give me the ick.

But once I got to 80%… I couldn’t put it down. The ending of the book was what I was looking forward too. Fast paced, action, the gods being creative and conniving, Persephone finally being a badass.

Too bad it took too long. It wrapped up the series with a pretty HEA bow, and for that i AM grateful… but it wasn’t worth the wait at all

I am so sad that this series is over, but it is probably one of the best series I've read. The effort that the author put into these always amazes me when I read the author notes at the end to learn about the myths incorporated. 

I loved the character development for Hades and Persephone throughout the series and the development of their relationship as well. I felt like Persephone had a decent amount of growth in the last two or three books especially. I also loved her relationship development with all the side characters as well. This book definitely screams "found family trope" louder than the others in this series, however, I think it's a present theme throughout. 

I would have liked to learn more about Medusa, but I am thinking/hopeful the author is saving that for another series. I cannot wait to read about Aphrodite and Hephaestus.
