I loved the character development for Hades and Persephone throughout the series and the development of their relationship as well. I felt like Persephone had a decent amount of growth in the last two or three books especially. I also loved her relationship development with all the side characters as well. This book definitely screams "found family trope" louder than the others in this series, however, I think it's a present theme throughout.
I would have liked to learn more about Medusa, but I am thinking/hopeful the author is saving that for another series. I cannot wait to read about Aphrodite and Hephaestus.

The POVs of Hades were the better books in my opinion and same with the chapters in here.
Also there is a lot of smut, which I don’t normally mind. But in this case and for much of the series it’s like every other chapter and its pages of it. Felt like it took you out of the story and didn’t add anything to the characters growth or the storyline. Felt more like “oh don’t know what to put here so let’s let them go have sex.”
Putting those aside this version of Persephone and Hades story is pretty good, it’s interesting and you get to really enjoy the other gods and really enjoyed their personalities; would’ve liked more of them. Thinking the ending could’ve been a lot stronger but of course had to have a smut scene instead of showing the aftermath and where the character end up…

The series as a whole was lovely - I enjoyed watching the romance develop and deepen between Persephone and Hades. Watching a couple not only decide to be together but also work through differences to stay committed was refreshing and felt real. Unfortunately it seems that that level of story telling was left out of this book in favor of nonstop action that didn’t allow enough time between events to do anything other than the obligatory spicy scene. Speaking of spice - the scenes were definitely steamy but I just didn’t feel the same level of intensity that earlier books had, for all the reasons I’ve already mentioned.
