This one is also a 3.5 buuuut I'm rounding it up because I liked it better than A touch of darkness.
It was obvious that being a Hades POV novel there would be much more action (and I am a sucker for bloodshed).
I just have one complaint. That line where Hades LITERALLY objectifies Persephone... oh no, I'm not up for that. I know their relationship has flaws and I hope they are explored at some point but... he literally called her object. That's a NO from me.
The thing that left me most intrigued was Aphrodite's and Hephaestus' relationship. I know Scarlett says at the end that they'll have their own book... BUT I CAN'T WAIT. I'm real intrigued by the way their marriage and relationship works (or moslt likely doesn't).
Edit: I forgot to mention that I really loved Scarlett's note at the end of the book explaining how she came up with the retellings. That was a super nice touch i really appreciated!
