A great follow up to This Poison Heart, picking up right where we left off and diving right into the action.
Again, loved these characters and loved the relationship that developed between Briseis and Circe. I also loved Persephone, getting to know Nyx better, and Bri developing her powers. I am still conflicted about Marie and Bri being a thing because that age gap is Not It but I also liked how they resolved this dynamic in the end.
While I loved the first half and couldn’t get through it quick enough, I felt that the middle was a bit too slow and it took a bit too long to get on their journey, I think I would have preferred for them to head out in search of the remaining piece and hit more roadblocks along the way instead of taking so long to get in motion.
I felt that Bri’s connection to Karter was wrapped up well and I think there was good character work in his part. I really enjoyed the epilogue although I think I could have read a few more chapters of it because I loved seeing everyone live their best lives! I would not complain about another book set in this same universe!

Unfortunately I think I would have liked this sequel more if I was a mythology girlie. But I'm not, and I'm not really familiar with the base mythology so I was missing that connection.

This was an adventure full of Greek mythology, but I feel like a lot of the humor and events leading up to the rescue attempt were filler. The whole storyline would’ve been better served as an epic novel instead of a duology, but it was still an enjoyable read.
