I like Hermes and Dionysius. Their first introduction was pretty funny. Everyone needs a friend who makes a habit of sneaking past your security to raid your wine cellar and eat all your desserts.

Okay, maybe not, but it's a fun relationship, and the depth of Hermes and her past that we know nothing about makes her an interesting character.

The underlying tone in this one is a little darker than the one with Helen I think, which is interesting. The ruthlessness of the people, and the few who are unwillingly trapped in that life, is unique.

This was lovely. Misunderstood/misperceived villains is an excellent trope that Hades embraces wonderfully.

Besides, who could resist three adorable puppies?
