I took a break from this series bc I DNF'd the 4th book, but then I did some more reading up on Greek mythology and was then in the mood for retellings.
I still struggle with the worldbuilding in this series a bit - mainly in that "the 13" gods are positions and different characters from mythology can be in those positions. Meaning people have their like born names and then their position-name ex 'Zeus' and that gets confusing for me.
All that being said this is a poly group relationship which I'm here for. Did everyone maybe deal completely with their past trauma? maybe not. Also I expecting a bit more tragedy at the end (especially since that word kept being used?) but it's HEA fwiw. Politically some things happened at the end and so wondering how that might play out in future books? So far my fav books in this series are the poly relationships so take that where you will.
