galacticvampire 's review for:
Neon Gods
by Katee Robert
The romance was fun and believeable, and I like the world building we got. The idea of Olympus as a modern high society works well enough and The Spicy Parts were well written and don't sound unrealistic nor too over the top.
I did have an issue with the clear attempt to frame this as a "dark romance" when in reality the narrative was terrified of anything slightly problematic.
I appreciate the inclusion of often lacking points like consent and queerness, but it often felt like at least once in every Hades POV there was an explicit disclaimer going over how he's a total feminist.
(Also, the ending is the biggest cop out I've ever read exactly because at the same time doesn't allow the main girl to have agency nor anyone to actually do something morally dubious ever)
