★☆☆☆☆
Could’ve been good, it just wasn’t.
I am really disgusted with how much money I wasted on this book.
It could’ve been good, it really could’ve been. It just wasn’t.
The plot was OKAY at best, and often times unbelievable. Hades believed he was feared by all his people for NO reason, and the ending, with Zeus? Ridiculous. It made no sense at all and was completely infuriating.
On top of all this, the author seemed obsessed with race, needing to identify every person by the color of their skin before anything else. A white man appeared. A black woman entered. A white woman smiled. A black man laughed. Oh, and to top it off, black was always capitalized, while no other race was. If we’re turning race into a proper noun, then ALL races should be considered as such.
The writing wasn’t the worst, but struggled at several parts, often lazily repeating descriptors that the author seemed overly fond of.
I have no idea what the hype for this book was about. The sex scenes weren’t even that great? Yeah. I just really don’t get it.
Waste of money, and disgustingly overpriced to top it off. I wouldn’t spend $1 on this.
