It's worth pointing out that I did a tandem read of A Game of Fate and A Touch of Darkness so that I was keeping up with the timeline. I am SO glad I did this because I don't know that I would have been able to go back and basically reread an entire book. I enjoyed getting to see the book from her perspective at the same time as his and it made me more invested. That being said, I loved Persephone's perspective and I thought that it was so much more entertaining than Hades's.

I feel like I am just not the target audience for this book. It was cute at times but super cringe and I really had to force myself to finish it.
