I’d rank this as sort of middle of the pack for the Dark Olympus series for me. I liked it more than Electric Idol and Radiant Sun for sure, but I think Wicked Beauty, Cruel Seduction, and Neon Gods will always be my top favourites. However, I’m ready and willing to be proven wrong by the last 3! 

I do like how the stakes are getting higher and conflict has become quite heightened as the books have progressed, with some truly nail-biting moments near the end! I liked hearing from Eurydice and watching her come into her own, beyond the protection and shadows of her sisters. 

Although I appreciated KR mixing it up with the relationship development and dynamic, it felt like Charon and Eurydice got together immediately with zero yearning or development. In addition to that, I feel like Orpheus was redeemed way too quickly than was realistic for the hurt that he had caused. So while the spice was next level, the relationships didn’t really feel earned in the same way as some of the other books. 

All in all, I got what I came for and I’m happy to devour these books whenever they come out, but I wasn’t as invested in this one as I wanted to be!

Katee is keeping us on edge once again in this delightful next chapter on the Dark Olympus series. With another fantastic set of characters fleshed out for us, some incite into some of our past favourites lives, a little taste of whats coming and the continued drip feed of details from the over arching story this winning mix that they seem to have perfected once agin lured me into the world of Olympus and kept me captivated. Of course there is also the usual healthy dose of spicy content Katee always delivers on but it does not overshadow the rest of the storyline. Brilliant work once again.
