4.0

as A TOUCH OF RUIN was my least favorite of peresphone’s series, I had a feeling this one was going to go the same way mostly because of the entire book being one big miscommunication 🤡

I did enjoy this one a little more than peresphone’s POV - mostly due to the fact that hades is a true king of the underworld and I’m here for all of the wicked deeds 

and can we talk about the backstory with dionysus? I loved the little side quest with him and ariadne and what may become of the consequences of theseus’ actions 👀

I think this installment set up the next part of the series quite nicely - and gave a clearer view into what hades’ thoughts were behind his slightly selfish but good intentioned moves in this era of their relationship 

I’m finding myself enjoying the hades’ POVs more than peresphone’s which is so shocking to me!!!
