literally f me this series is so addicting! I always forget how easy it is to fall back into the world of new olympus and I’m just mind blown every time 😮💨
while I’m thankful for the lil recap we got in the beginning of this one, I really needed a flow chart because these gods’ names change too many dang times for me to keep straight ok?
I loved this polyamorous relationship A LOT between eris, theseus, adonis & pandora 🥹 they were all so sweet to one another (despite their words that they want to unalive each other) and I loved seeing how they each made their own space in their lives for one another!!
that being said, I would have loved to see this installment be a little longer to truly characterize each of the four MCs - pandora’s story felt extremely shortened, and the entire ending was so abrupt! I turned the page and said “wait that’s the end?”
I again felt that this one was building towards a huge fallout amongst the gods and the thirteen without a ton of action and drama, but the politics and world building was top tier per usual 😮💨 and who can resist a good ol marriage of convenience
rating: 4 stars
