This was a lovely read. There was an incredibly emotionally touching fivesome that I absolutely adored. I feel like that scene also did a ton to set up the characters for a few of the future books. I really loved how every single kink scene in this wasn't just delightful smut, but also built up the plot and the romance.

Truly my only complaints about this book aren't about this book at all, but about the series. This book ruined the last book for me. I spent so much time struggling with Hades in the second book like I truly didn't find him an at all sympathetic character until the last maybe 15% of the book. In the second book I loved Meg and Hercules, but I never really saw why they would actually stand for being in a relationship with Hades. At the very end of that book, when his wall broke down and he actually dedicated himself to his lovers I finally began to accept him.  The way Hades treated Tink in this book is unforgivable.  I found his character lacking before, but now I think he is just repugnant.  Meg and Herc deserve better than him.
