the choice to tell the story of hercules from others' perspectives was a very good one. seeing his every side, from caring to awful to hopeless, left me feeling a little sad in the end, though i found the book overall very enjoyable.
the lighthearted and witty tone is also easy and fun to read.

i was told this was really good enemies to lovers, but i was a little disappointed to see that it fell into some standard "straight romance" tropes. ie, he calls the mc, violet, a cringy nickname ('violence') throughout the book, i recoiled a little every time ngl ðŸ˜
it was a little too fast paced for me, in terms of the romance, but thats just my preference. it was perfectly good development, i just prefer slowburn.
i enjoyed the story well enough, but im a little disappointed to say i just didn't quite click with this story as much as id like. unfortunately, it wasn't anything more than avarage, in my opinion.
UPDATE: rebecca is fucking zionist, so i dont feel bad tearing into this book properly anymore.
shitty writing, constantly needlessly horny protagonist, mid sex scenes, zero interesting chemistry between main couple, mc is "special" (first ever to get 2 dragons, is almost always being told how awesome she is, etc.), boring and stupid way to infodump lore (mc just starts yapping and it's explained as her "keeping calm in stressful situations").
and this pissed me off the most:
pointless conflict towards the end where the love interest is shit on for helping people in need on the enemy side. the mc just hates him now for "betraying her trust", despite the fact that he didn't want to risk telling her a government secret that could have gotten her fucking killed if she knew it 💀💀
most boring and mid shit ive read in a while, this is why i avoid straight romance. 1 star.

rereading it, it still lives up to how i remember it from when i first read it when i was 12, which was a very pleasant surprise.
i don't normally get this invested with non-queer romance, so that's another plus. i found the characters to be engaging and fleshed out enough to make me tear up multiple times, and i found it overall enjoyable, even if the beginning was a bit slower than i remembered. still very good though. looking forward to rereading the other two books in the series.
