A really good installment--we got the overall plot moving forward and the relationships between Eurydice, Charon, and Orpheus unfolded so well. I actually like that Orpheus didn't have to grovel, it felt like a more realistic approach to forgiveness than if groveling had been the whole book. I really liked the sex scenes, though I can see why some people weren't into them. I do think it's funny that Charon and Orpheus kept emphasizing that "oh we can see ourselves falling in love with each other but we're not there yet" as if this whole series isn't full of characters falling in love within 2 weeks. 

Also, I think it's so interesting that the further we get from Neon Gods, the less I actually care for Persephone as a character. She's getting on my nerves. But I'm so excited that Hera/Callisto is going to be more prominent in the next book (I want her and Zeus/Perseus's book soooooo badly, it's gonna be so good).
