A review by kkloosterman
A Touch of Chaos by Scarlett St. Clair

Did not finish book. Stopped at 32%.
DNF at 41% - I am honestly very disappointed. I think I have definitely grown as a reader in the two years since I read the other books but the writing style felt so simple. It made it that everything felt descriptive and not as if you were experiencing it with the characters. I thought the Persephone storyline was honestly boring and I was only really interested in Dionysus and Ariadne’s story and her sister Phaedra. The biggest reason I didn’t finish it was Theseus’s POV, why in the WORLD did we need to read from the perspective of Theseus?? This disgusting piece of a man has close to non-consensual sex with Helen and gets harder thinking about torturing Ariadne and abuses his wife?? How disgusting but why did we need to read that from his perspective?? I was honestly not interested at all to find out how he will get beaten and where Cronos comes into play. I felt like all the sex scenes up until this point were weird and inappropriately timed with them being hallucinations and dreams. I think Persephone made silly plans that somehow worked out and Hades was being unreasonably harsh and rude in the chapter after his escape
