The Games Gods Play (Deluxe Limited Edition) (The Crucible, 1)
The Greek gods (alive, well, and totally arrogant in our modern world) are selecting a leader by pitting mortals against each other in brutal tests. Powerful, enigmatic Hades wants in for the first time in millennia, but his chosen competitor has her own agenda—and a bone to pick with Mount Olympus.
Zeus always wins. Aphrodite plays dirty. Will Hades’ headstrong champion prove it isn’t just the gods who can play the game?

I have so many mixed feelings. While this book was really fun to read and enjoyable with a great plot, I felt myself wanting more for the relationships and plot scenes. It almost felt rushed since there were so many trials to go through. Lyra felt more like a YA but Hades brought it to an Adult read. There were two scenes that I was close to crying, but it moved on to the next scene so quickly and I wouldâve loved to sit in it and connect with Lyra. Iâm very curious to see where this series will go though and am hoping for more Aphrodite!

It has been one week since I finished this book and the audacity of the ending still floors me! I need book two immediately.
I love how these trials are written and the characters are amazing. I was locked in on the intensity of the thrill of each trial.
I am all for mythology, and this book did not disappoint. It is definitely a top read of the year.

The freaking cliffhanger though! I am so very good at reading incomplete series and breaking my own heart whilst waiting for the next book!
I loved the audio for this book. It was action packed and very entertaining. This read very much YA but there is a sex scene in the book. I felt like the sex scene wasnt needed and could have been "closed door" and still would have been great. Hades and Aphrodite were two of my favorite characters. Lyra was a strong FMC, but there were times where I felt like she just needed to relax and think. I understand her being cursed is part of her storyline but I felt like she focused too much on that and missed out on some really good relationship building.
I still loved the story and didn't want to put the audio down. I cant want until the next book comes out since the epilogue left us on a HUGE cliffhanger. But I would recommend this still to those who liked the hunger games and like greek mythology.
