A Game of Fate by Scarlett St. Clair
3.0
While this book follows the same story as A Touch of Darkness, I think there were enough differences throughout and enough solo time with Hades that it felt almost like an entirely different story.
I usually dread a series with an entire book dedicated to a second pov, but I do have to say that this one was very well done.
One of my biggest complaints in A Touch Of Darkness is that I felt like we really never got to know Hades outside from what random information was scattered throughout the book, so this was really great for insight into him that I felt was lacking.
I still found Persephone to me immature and whiny. I still felt that she came off as a teenage girl throwing a tantrum, so obviously, I had very little connection to her. I like Hades a bit more now than I did previously, but I still found his character to be bland and “boorish”.
Hermes is, and always will be, my shining star. I'm so glad for his character and the comedic relief he brings to these books. Between constant complaining from Persephone and bickering with Hades to (in the second half 9f the book) the literal chapter after chapter of sex, I found there to be very little plot to these books, and very little to hold my attention
