Dark romance, political intrigue, murder mystery- all wrapped into an Apollo and Cassandra Greek myth retelling? Yes please!
Katee Robert's world building of Olympus is so intrinsic to the storyline that it feels like one of the characters in addition to The Thirteen. But to take the Thirteen out of the city and into the countryside home of the mysterious Minos, we get to see the main players of Olympus at their most vulnerable.
Apollo and Cassandra's chemistry is hot fire. The spice is spicy. And the mystery is still unsolved. I had a great time with this fourth entry in the Dark Olympus series and am ready to devour the rest of the series.

I truly enjoy this series a lot. The spice mixed with the political intrigue and drama is very fun. I especially loved that Apollo is so kind and loving while still being dominant and sexy. I love that Cassandra is a force to be reckoned with and that at least Apollo always believes and sees her even if the others don't. Oh and of course I absolutely loved that Cassandra is plus-sized and beautiful!

This book was a lot more plot-heavy than the others in this series, and I feel like there were less sex scenes, too. It wasn't bad, by all means, and I really enjoyed the bi and fat rep in this book, as well as the smut that was in here. However, especially in the beginning I was so overwhelmed by all the names and the plot shenanigans that I lost track and I actually skimmed over quite a bit. I hope we get to see more of Apollo and Cassandra in the rest of the series, because I liked their dynamic, but overall I think this might have been my least favourite of the series.

As always the smut is fantastic, and while I look forward to seeing how the author ties all these storylines together, the plot and execution of it is subpar. A little too “mustache twirling villain” vibes for me. Also I’m not *complaining* complaining, but is every single female character this author writes bi and curvy? Lazy character development lol

Cassandra & Apollo were really nice mc's and I loved reading about another decent member of the 13 but the pacing didn't really work for me, sadly. The murder (mystery?) element was fun but also a bit predictable — didn't expect their secret ally though 🤫 Really hot sex, much more in the Neon Gods style with a BDSM focus — loved that!! This felt a bit filler-y, especially because Minos & his people were already introduced in the last book but it seems we're really getting into it now!
