This installment was a lot of fun! It's great to see how far Hades and Persephone's relationship has come since book one and I loved all the cute moments they shared. There was also a lot of action happening, which sped up the story a ton. Persephone's development is also great—her growth and acceptance of herself and her magic were so nice to witness, and I'm excited to see what will happen with the series conclusion. The spice here was PLENTIFUL—Scarlett St. Clair didn't stop giving, and I was here for it. I knew exactly what I was getting with this series: tension, spice, and drama from the Gods. The cliffhanger at the end had me reeling, and I almost wanted to skip to A Touch of Chaos instead of reading a Game of Gods, but needless to say, I'm very excited about the last two books!
