lighthearted fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes

  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

So, it could use some tightening up. The motives and decisions that the FMC makes change too quickly, and the handling of the cast is a bit clumsy. Hades makes a decent shadow daddy but some of his actions border on inappropriate. 

All in all though, this book is a blast. Is it amazingly written? No. But it IS deliciously entertaining! It's like a soap opera but with mythological characters 😂 idk how the author managed to keep this going for 7 books without it getting stale but hell, I really enjoyed this one. Delightfully trope-y and lighthearted.
