A Touch of Ruin by Scarlett St. Clair
5.0

Definitely recommend this series!

I rated the first book 5 ⭐️ and I was not surprised when this followed in its footsteps.

It dives deeper into the relationship between Persephone and Hades, which was done beautifully, any fights they had made sense to the story and were resolved in an understanding way.

I also enjoyed reading about Persephone’s further journey with her fate, her career and the idea of being Queen. They progressed as expected from the first story to this, but watching her growth was enjoyable.

Also, trigger warning for the book, but it does deal with suicide and attempted SA. I am fine reading about these topics but just a fyi for anyone who wants to read and may struggle with these. I did think they were done well though, felt like they could exist in real life but also did may sense in the storyline, especially with the suicide storyline, which was necassary for Persephone’s development and relationship with Hades.

Overall I highly recommend reading this series, and I am excited to start the next one.
