“Promises made when neither party thinks they’ll survive the night are as substantial as wishing on stars.”

I cannot with this series. It's just...addicting.  Like, this is the best escapist shit I have read since Singh's the Psy-Changeling series. And I was realllllly looking forward to this one after finishing the last one. The set-up for Icarus and Poseidon had me readddyyy. And it delivered. Not quite how I expected though. This was an interesting turn in scope here from the rest of the series. It was super narrowed after all the big picture things happening in the last few books. Like no other romances’ characters are really guest starring here and there was very little connection between Poseidon's area and the rest of Olympus. I mean yes, the plot moved forward and some of the Thirteen (especially the 3 legacy titles and Hera) played major parts in the plot movements. But their page time was super limited.  This was alllllll about Icarus and Poseidon. Their open communication and effort to be honest with each other, so quickly, definitely did it for me. And even though it vibed different from the rest of the series, I kinda loved the switch up. The scope change and the  tenderness in the relationship...it had a different feel that I was into (still smutty of course, but it somehow felt less so?). Idk. All I know is that I teared up at the end and this was the first one that made me feel those kinds of feels! I love how popular these inclusive romances are OMG. Rock on. There is just so much source material in Greek mythology; I love how many options there are for Robert to pull from and how she recreates them. Side note, I am loving Circe as the antagonist (though also if you step back, like, she's totally right). I can’t wait to see how her story-arc wraps...though I also don’t want it to be over!
