I always enjoy the Hades x Persephone books and this one made me excited to read more about Ariadne and Dionysus.
However, this felt rushed. I was over 400 pages in wondering when the war was going to start. I cried over characters that I thought died and then were mentioned in the next chapter like they hadn't been brutally murdered before. I mean, I get that they are gods... but it was just a shock to the system.
I loved seeing Persephone come into her goddesshood and I love the way she endeared herself to all the gods and goddesses and made them love her. Her and Apollo by the end were just so great!
There was a point when I felt like we hadn't heard from Sephy in awhile and when I'd start a new chapter and it wasn't hers I would groan haha
Also, Hermes is the best character ever written.✌🏼
