Narrator: 3 stars
Story: 5 Stars
I am team multi-POV all of the way, so naturally I had to read/listen to this book immediately after A Touch of Darkness. I certainly preferred the narrator for Persephone's POV, however, I still enjoyed Hade's story just as much, if not more than hers. On paper, Persephone came off as juvenile and whiny at times.
With A Game of Fate, we experienced a lot more interaction with the gods and received a new subplot intermingled with the plot we know from ATOD. You also observe how angsty and horny Hades truly is.
Hecate is by far my favorite, especially with her constantly calling Hades out for doing something dumb. Getting more humor with Hermes was also a nice treat.
I am thoroughly entertained with this series and this book and plan on consuming the rest from both POVs.
