Perhaps I had gotten my hopes a little too high for this one. The setup for this final book in the Hades and Persephone series was massive and world-ending, but the pacing of this book ultimately felt off. Act one was tremendously drawn out, and while I didn't mind that while reading the first several hundred pages, I do find myself questioning it now after completing the book and having experienced the rushed third act.
We spend how long with Hades trapped in the labyrinth and not doing anything? Days? Meanwhile the final battle feels like it took less than fifteen minutes.


I enjoyed this series overall and will still absolutely recommend it to fantasy-romance enthusiasts. I just think it was a slight letdown compared to the previous books in the series.
