This was my first fantasy book and I really enjoyed the theme of living in Olympus and having the characters be modern greek mythology but when I was actually reading the book I got a little bored in the middle because there were a lot of “spicy” scenes/chapters. I also feel like most of the book was just leading up to the ending that was only two pages long (if that makes any sense) Even though it was kind of slow in the middle it picked back up again in the end and the ending made me really happy :)

I loved Neon Gods and this was such a great second book for the Dark Olympus series. I think that Psyche is a really compelling FMC and Eros is the kind of gritty morally gray character making them a dynamic pair that’s all too easy to root for. I continue to be impressed by KR’s ability to convince me of the stakes and keep me hooked for the whole book. I was glued to this for the first 30 chapters! I think that this novel suffered from a bit too much of an edit on the tail end, as the climax comes in the last 20 pages and the wrap up feels very rushed. I mostly just never wanted this to end!
