Definitely an introductory book, it covers some very basic information and some "common sense" ideas. I did find a couple of tips that were helpful, and it has beautiful illustrations and details.

I'm a sucker for a Hades/Persephone and dark, brooding love interests, so I enjoyed this. I wish there was more background info about Olympus and its politics. I also didn't understand how they were "Gods" but didnt have any powers (besides Hermes)... this could be a really interesting world if more time was taken to flesh it out. BUT I also know the point of this is the romance and spice so it did deliver there - the epilogue was lacking compared to other scenes but overall it was a fun read.

A good message but overall was just fine. Love the cover art, but the actual art is a little clunky to me.
