This is the epitome of saving the best for last. This was by far the best book in the series. There was action, political intrigue, and espionage. All of it, everything I love that I wish had been more prominent in the other books. 

We moved away from all of the drama between Hades and Persephone and into the real nit and gritty between all the gods and the demi gods trying to take them down. I was on the edge of my seat for so much of this book, and I couldn't get enough. 

I don't know if it was worth all of the nonsense I went through with the rest of the series to get here, but I'm glad I got here. I really enjoyed this one. It's still only 3 stars, but considering the last couple of this series almost hit one star, I think that's a pretty big improvement. 

I don't know what it says about the main characters in the series when I preferred the side story to them. Dionysus and Ariadne stole the show. And of course, my Hermes ♡. Still low-key hate Apollo even if he did get a redemption arc. And I ended this series hating Persephone a little less, so that's nice, even if Hades is still a “meh” from me.
