I terms of the series so far this lands right in the middle. I adored Electric Idol but didn’t like Neon Gods. I didn’t hate but didn’t love this one. I liked Helen she was a woman in charge of herself despite others trying to control her. Achilles started out as a total asshole that eventually shifted into a single minded idiot. Patroclus is too nice of a person to be stuck with Achilles. I loved how they understood Helen’s past trauma and respected and helped her heal from it. It was a good book, just not my favorite.

I didn’t like this one as much as the other two. Achilles was pretty unbearable and I hated every scene with the ex. Atalanta was cool and I really liked Helen. I also liked how it ended and set something really cool up for the next book.

Why did this book not have an epilogue??? Please. It wasn't enough. I need more Achilles. 😭😭😭I didn't know how Katee would spin a reverse harem Greek mythology retelling version involving Patroclus, Achilles and Helen of Troy. Shame on me for ever doubting her! This was very adventurous and smutty.

[second read, October 2023]
The question I asked going in: exactly how Trionysus-coded is this book?
The answer: EXTREMELY. ❤️🤍🩷

No one else will know what I’m talking about, but that’s okay, because I do and I’m having a grand old time.

That aside, this is definitely one of my favorite Dark Olympus books. The snark, the smut and the story are all top-tier, so as far as I’m concerned, it’s a win.

[first read, August 2022]
I went into this hopeful because I adore Neon Gods, but also tentative because I wasn’t as big a fan of Electric Idol. Katee Robert didn’t disappoint—this was SO GOOD!!! I immediately loved Helen and Patroclus, and (eventually) Achilles grew on me too. I liked seeing the two men as an established couple, and how their dynamic shifted to include Helen, even if their refusal to communicate at first did lowkey drive me up the wall. The three of them had obvious chemistry, and a believable relationship arc that felt well-paced despite the relatively short timespan over which the story took place.

Aside from the initial miscommunication, I don’t think I have any other complaints. This book had an abundance of banter, some action, a couple of surprise plot twists, and much more political turmoil than I was expecting. Everything was well-balanced—the action in particular felt much more consistent in this book, compared to its predecessors—and in general, this was just a delight from cover to cover. I was smiling and cackling and even squealed a couple of times, which, in my humble opinion, means Katee Robert did her job exactly right. We’ve had a few mishaps, but nonetheless, she’s become one of my favorite romance authors. ❤️
