After hearing that this is Hades' perspective of [b:A Touch of Darkness|55215339|A Touch of Darkness (Hades x Persephone Saga, #1)|Scarlett St. Clair|https:i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1611948296l/55215339._SY75_.jpg|66983274] I read it right after A Touch of Darkness instead of finishing the Hades x Persephone saga first.

Hades' perspective was humorous and enjoyable. I am glad I read this. Some questions were answered in this side of the story and we got to see more of some other gods in this viewpoint.

You will not get it in this book if you are looking for an added plot. If you are looking for Hades' viewpoint of events already explained than its worth the read.

Greek mythology romance villain is the hero. Honestly, I like Hades perspective more than Persephone. This is the better half of the series.

Omg this book was even better than the 1st! I love love love Hades point of view. His friendship with Hecate and Hermes is great! also the spice scenes did feel excessive here.

Hades is ALL IN! I wish I read this in tandem with a Touch Of Darkness, it brought the story full circle. I enjoyed the power struggle and the view of the bigger story. I had initially found Persephone annoying and childlike. It is spicy so if you don't read spice or are easily offended, this is not for you. Also Hecate is my favorite character, she game the balance.
