I still love Hades and Persephone and they were definitely the highlight in this book for me but it didn't even feel like a Hades and Persephone a book at some point, just...a war book. I also feel like we've lost any aspect of a "modern" retelling – Persephone's media job seems non-existent and all the time is spent in the underworld anyway.
Hermes is reduced to nothing more than comic relief (and bad one at that) and Apollo doesn't appear until like 80% in.
Sooo many people and gods died in this and it all felt so inconsequential and basically noone mourned?? There's horrid things happening and we just don't get any satisfying conclusions.
Definitely my least favourite of the series 🥲 Still love the rest of them though 🫶🏻

Most importantly, I don’t understand why the author felt the need to describe sexual assault, both the act and the desire to, in several different instances. The trigger warning was there, but I cannot comprehend what it added to the story. It isn’t like the author
Besides that, the book had such a weird plot pace. A lot of things were left unclear after
