I like Hades POV; this book I think was a good follow up of the other two books of Hades POV.
Honestly would’ve wanted to just read his and not Persephones (also am not a fan of having separate books one of one character POV and the other a different characters POV) think it just made Persephone sound more whiny and not mature enough to be in a relationship with someone like Hades… which may be the point but feel like the both did a lot to convince the reader that she is equal to him… in some ways think he would’ve been better with Hermes…

Overall wasn’t a huge fan of the series, think this book was one of the better ones, definitely the best one with Persephone’s point of view.
The POVs of Hades were the better books in my opinion and same with the chapters in here.
Also there is a lot of smut, which I don’t normally mind. But in this case and for much of the series it’s like every other chapter and its pages of it. Felt like it took you out of the story and didn’t add anything to the characters growth or the storyline. Felt more like “oh don’t know what to put here so let’s let them go have sex.” 
Putting those aside this version of Persephone and Hades story is pretty good, it’s interesting and you get to really enjoy the other gods and really enjoyed their personalities; would’ve liked more of them. Thinking the ending could’ve been a lot stronger but of course had to have a smut scene instead of showing the aftermath and where the character end up…
