I’ma be so fucking for real.. Reading this made me question if I even like this series anymore. I definitely can’t remember what it was that captured my interest enough to consider these 6 books must-reads. I’ve consistently rated Persephone’s books 3 star because I find her to be quite frankly insufferable as a FMC. I’ve consistently rated Hades books 4 stars mainly because they’re better than hers and also because they tend to have more of the Greek mythology.

In this one, I enjoyed Dionysus and Ariadne’s scenes. I also liked the end? The last chapter or two of this was compelling from Hades POV and the rest I could have honestly lived without, I feel like it should have been included in Persephone’s book. There wasn’t enough of a fresh perspective or any hidden secrets coming from Hades to justify his own book rehashing the same stale story without adding anything. 

The 7th book is the final one and I want the closure that reading it will bring but I’m so not excited for it if this is anything to go by. Am I well? Well and truly tired 😔
