3.5

The finale to this series hits all the spots. Prepare to question what's happening and feel an omnipresent doom through 95% of the book. It hits hard and definitely take the trigger warnings seriously. The dark themes are written strongly and it definitely had my head and heart spinning. SO many POVs and it left a lot of plot holes to the New Athens world. 


This would've honestly been a another amazing 4-4.5 star read to the HadesxPersephone saga had it not been for the "bonus chapter" that changed my entire outlook on the series. I have so many irritated feelings about Persephone's premonition coming true and this whole flip to "fate-interveened-pregnancy". Hades and Persephone were this one character duo that were learning to love and communicate about these hard subjects. I felt like this was a kick in the teeth on that foundation. So so so disappointed.
