I guess this one was better than the counterpart from Persephone’s perspective? I still found it needless to have a whole separate novel from Hades‘s perspective instead of just alternating chapters in the same book. At least this book had some more action and plot going on, but the inane arguments between Hades and Persephone were tiresome and the countless sex scenes at the beginning of the book were too much. I was tired of hearing “Fucking Fates” by the end of this one, and if I heard “Are you well?” one more time I think my head might have exploded.
