A Touch of Malice

Persephone and Hades' engagement provokes Demeter to summon a crippling snowstorm over New Greece, demanding her daughter call off the union. The Olympians intervene, torn between allowing the marriage and facing Demeter's wrath or prohibiting it and angering Hades. The situation teeters on the brink of war, with no clear resolution in sight. Rating: 4/5 I loved most of this book. The story is reaching a climax, and I'm excited to read the last two books in the series. Persephone's evolution has been interesting and sometimes frustrating, but overall satisfying, while Hades has been consistently swoon-worthy. This book delves deeper into the gods and the situation with the Olympians, focusing more on mythology and less on the mortal world, which I enjoyed. However, some side stories felt underdeveloped. I'm eager to see where the series goes, especially from Hades’s perspective.
