Hades by Ambrosia R. Harris

4.0

Hades by Ambrosia Harris is essentially Kore but from Hade’s perspective. Overall, I would have liked the book more if I did not re-read Kore in preparation for Hades. The author did not expand on the original story, except for several plot points that do not include Kore. This led me to be bored from reading the same story twice. I was ready to continue the story from where we left off originally, which was on a cliffhanger. It feels as if I spent an entire year waiting to receive the same plot again. Ambrosia Harris has claimed that readers are getting a new story with Hades, but I do not think that is true. I wish Harris had expanded on the storyline already written. I might have appreciated this book more in a couple of years once Kore's story is complete. I do not think the book is bad, but the storyline was repetitive, and Kore and Hades do not need to be read close together. The next book in the series is called Demeter, so now I am wondering if the plot will be the same 18-year period but from Demeter's perspective, which I also do not know if I need.

Overall, I am rating this book four stars. It was fine. I would have enjoyed it as a stand-alone. I did enjoy it last year ... as Kore.
