I really dont have much to say. This book is just more of the same Persephone nonsense. More if this book is sex than not. Honestly, it got annoying. It was just too much, I skipped most of it. There was some plot in this book, but it was absolutely flooded with smut that by the time I got to anything with any real substance, I just didn't care anymore.
I appreciate that we got to see more of the gods in this one, I guess. I hate that everything that happened with Apollo just got swept under the rug and dismissed because he was “heartbroken and acting out”. Way to stand by your word Persephone. I guess that now her friend's powers were returned, it doesn't matter the way he treated all the OTHER people. Gross. Honestly. I know that happened in the last book, but he's around as her “friend” in this one, and that pisses me off.
Hades is mysterious as always. Still not telling her shit. She's still mad. I can't. We're going in circles. Their relationship could not get worse. (Spoiler: it does).
Also. If I have to read “are you well?” one more bloody time, I'm going to pull my hair out.
