“Create the life you want, Persephone, and stop listening to everyone else.”
I enjoyed this read compared to the first book.
This plotline felt like there was more meat to the content.
The one POV will always bother me in this series; however, it wasn't that bad at times in A Touch of Ruin. The only thing I can't review is Hades's character as there wasn't his POV, so it wasn't fair to judge what he does and says, even though it sometimes annoys me.
The focus of Persephone's growth in this was so good.
I love that she has flaws; she makes terrible decisions and mistakes. Even if we get annoyed and disagree with what she did, the outcome runs full circle, and she grows to learn and her character changes over time.
We get more action and involvement of side characters other than the focus of Hades and Persephone's romance.
I love Persephone is getting friends! I love a good squad and more of them!
“This mortal has distressed you,” Zofie said. “Do you want me to kill him?” “What? No, Zofie. You can’t just kill people who upset you.” The Aegis shrugged. “You can where I’m from.” “Remind me to hide all your weapons,” Persephone said.”
