#TandemRead "- And where were you, God of the Dead? - I highly doubt you wanted my intervention. It's in the name" Hermes is hilarious. This Hades has only one flaw - he is clearly an alcoholic. Apart from having glass of whiskey in almost every scene, he might be my fav version of Hades in all of retellings I've read so far. This version of Persephone tho? I can't stand. She is lacking everything and is just annoying me. I hope for character development, otherwise I will flip. Like with first books I prefer Hades pov and I think it would be way better if whole thing was one series instead of two. Jumping between two books wasn't really problematic (just like with first books) but what I hate is doubled chapters. And frankly; doubled dialogues is just lazy writing. There were chapters almost word to word in either books. C'mon, have some respect for your readers! Additionally, as much as I appreciate a good smut, I think it was too much and it did not bring anything to the story other than adding extra pages. And, again, most of spicy chapters were doubled. Reading the same smut twice, chapter after chapter, is not a vibe. ATOR - meh, if I read it on it own it would probably be dnf AGOR - eh, but triple H is my fav (Hades, Hermes & Hecate 4ever) Will finish the series because A) I am queen of trash and B) Hades is just *chef's kiss*, but it will be most likely reading without a joy.
