I have to jump ship on this. I’ve been using it as a sleep aid for the past month. It somehow worked better than ASMR.
None of the characters feel like themselves. There’s tons of telling, not showing. There’s plot after plot after plot. There’s racing through all aforementioned plots. Yet, at the same time, there’s trudging through aforementioned plots at a snail’s pace.
It’s like we’ve thrown all the previous, modern-day books in the series right out the window and have decided to go straight down the Greek mythology only path. Which, look. I get it. This is an H & P retelling. But it’s like we decided that only the plots from the Hades POVs matter. Persephone and her job? Nope. Demeter’s death? Lol also no. Lexa? Haha try again. Helping out the souls? Forget it.
I’ve decided this series is actually a trilogy with ONLY the Persephone POVs. The Hades ones do not exist. This fourth book does not exist. Block. Unfollow. Unfriend. Strike it from the record.
