I spent the whole time trying to figure out who was who. Obviously this book is part of a series where stuff is explained. Very little plot. No conclusion to anything.

I really enjoyed this book. This was probably my favorite storyline so far and it was great to read Hades' perspective. I loved the interactions with Hermes and Hectate. Dionysus was fine, but didn't keep me entertained as much as the Hades x Persephone story. Can't believe I have to wait over two months for the finale!!!
