This was the first book, A Touch of Darkness, rewritten in Hades perspective which was nice to see! I was happy that a good portion of the book had stuff not mentioned in the first book and we got to see more of what Hades is actually like.
I enjoyed learning the small things like the fact that Hades already knew that Persephone was promised to him by the fates, and his inner dialogue for moments when Persephone had thought wrongly about him. However, a lot of the book was very repetitive and I think the author could've definitely saved a lot of time by making this whole series multi-perspective. Also I forgot to mention this in my first review but how was it that Demeter did not realize Persephone came to the Galla when so many of the other gods recognized her?? And when Hades took her away and they all saw it? or did she not see it or hear about it; I don't know that felt a little unlikely. The sex scenes were the same, I didn't enjoy them any less but during most of them I was just ready for them to be done and for more plot to happen (I mean how often can these two do the do like control yourselves lol).
Will be continuing the series, and hoping for more plot because that's the main reason I am continuing; really curious what else there is to be written.
