what a conclusion to this series!!! 😩 after the extremely rude cliffhanger of A TOUCH OF MALICE, I feel like I waited eighty years to find out what happened - which of course meant I had to binge re-read the six before this to remind myself of what tf happened 

this conclusion was non-stop action from start to finish (exactly how I wanted it) but it didn’t have as many romantic elements as I hoped … but then again, spicy times have to wait when there’s an all out war amongst the gods 😅😅 

I was devastated by each and every death that occurred, and let me tell you, there were so many 😭 I was not here for that, but also appreciate that there are high stakes when you’re fighting gods (*cough* crescent city *cough*) 

while I did think the conclusion itself wrapped up way too quickly and neatly for me, I loved every chapter of this installment, combining peresphone, hades, and dionysus’ POVs from the previous six books 🥹 but the ending was so abrupt compared to the drawn out battles previous to it

I’m so sad this series is over, but honestly it’s for the best because I couldn’t stand if anyone else died 🥲

I still stand by that this is the best hades x peresphone retelling out there!!!!
