I feel like each book got better. But remind me why I choose to start unfinished series? This one was emotional, uplifting, devastating, all at the same time. Loved the additional POV characters. Though the world continues to expand, I didn’t feel lost. Can’t wait until May!

A good continuation of the story. Held intrigue and expanded the world. Enjoyed getting more insight into the MMC’s history and background. Spice heated up!

I enjoyed this book. It's a fun adventure, but reminded me of other stories as well. I found the world and magic structure unique with humans also having magic. The pacing felt weird at times, such as when
three major moments happen in the span of about an hour/a walk down a hallway.
Spice was good, and the slow burn was burning. Heart fluttered several times. Some plot twists were predictable, but others weren't. I'll continue listening/reading!

I literally don’t know what to do with myself having finished this book. It was beautiful, poetic, HOT! I much prefer series, but this will be one of my comfort reads for years to come.

Loved this continuation of the Dark Olympus world. Much more plot-driven than the first two books. A fun twist on the reverse harem trope where
the men are also involved with each other
. I want more of Helen/Patroclus/Achilles!

An intriguing, darker cousin to Throne of Glass with magical twists.  A badass FMC, that doesn’t bulldoze over everyone, and relationships that are very much rooted in friendship and love, with refreshing humor built in.
