“A Touch Chaos” is the final installment of the Hades x Persephone saga, as war breaks out against the Olympians and demigods. While I have enjoyed most of the series, I was very disappointed with the conclusion. One of the many issues that I found with the book was that there were a lot of unnecessary filler chapters that slowed down the book. At least 10-15 chapters could’ve been cut from the book and it wouldn’t have had taken away from the story. I also wasn’t a fan of the constant POV changes, because it didn’t add anything to the plot; it just slowed everything down. Most importantly, I felt VERY unsatisfied with the ending of the series. The past six books had been building up to the finale of the series, only for it to magically be over within a few chapters, which was very unsatisfying. Overall, while I did enjoy most of the series, I was left wanting more for the series conclusions.

There are so many tonal issues here, good lord. Hermes is used as the comic relief at the worst times, and his comic relief is so similar to something you read in a fanfic. Hades and Persephone continue their poorly timed sex scenes as they have since the beginning of the series. What was truly unnecessary were the Theseus chapters. Specifically, the portions of his chapters that focus on sexual violence, whether it be his personal fantasies or the eventual "fade to black" moment where it does take place. It is already clear that he is a villain, but adding that piece was truly unnecessary.

This was a DNF for me, I tried so hard to push through; getting to over 230 pages but after that I just couldn’t force myself to read it anymore.

I loved the first 3 books but honestly this just didn’t do it for me. Constantly switching POVs it just seemed so disorganised, it got to the point of being confusing and unnecessary.

Maybe in the future I will try re read this, but for now I’m done.
