The on again off again saga of Hades and Persephone. While there are compelling elements, too much of it was surrounding the volatile nature of their relationship.
Also the entire random stalker plot that really didn't get any attention and felt like it could've been cut out.
Also, while we can all understand the pain that comes with death and the desire to avoid that, it is clear that the queen of the underworld should've been a bit more at peace with the whole thing.
The most compelling thing was the end when Demeter declared war with snow.
Overall, everyone in this book was a lot more irritating with the exceptions of Hermes and Hecate. They remain perfect in every way.

Poorly wrapped up problem with a stalker. Done in less than five minutes, then back to poorly written sex scenes. The first book in the series was better. Very disappointed in the rushed writing. Going to read book three for grins and giggles, hoping it will be better.>

There is just so much to this book that I wouldn't have expected. Everything with Apollo (almost cried during his scene with his lover), meeting Leuce and learning more about her, the abduction, the proposal (s), the ending. It all intertwined beautifully for me. There were several times when I had to pull away from this book because it was just *so god damn good*. The love and passion Hades and Persephone share really, really touches my heart.
The author's note mentions learning more about Hades' life in the Upperworld and what he does. I am very excited for this because I just want to slurp up every piece of lore I can get about Hades. He loves so beautifully and fiercely, and I *need* to know what makes him tick.
There are some very prominent characters we have yet to meet. Where does Zeus stand in all of this? Poseidon? What's going on with Aphrodite? So many questions, so few answers.
Please make sure to read content warnings for this book. It'll make it easier.
