The Dark Olympus series was my first foray into Katee Robert’s writing, so even though these books came earl;over in publication order, I had never given them a go. But wow. Did I love Learn My Lesson. Ok, let’s start off with plotting. Had I read other books in this series? No. Did it hinder my reading experience? Also no. Am I going to go out and back read them all? You bet. The story was easy to follow and engaging right from the beginning. Obviously, this is a smut heavy book that dominates the plot, but it wasn’t at the expense of the overall plot or the characters. Speaking of characters, Hercules. Damn. What a wonder, the big blob of himbo with a saviour complex was so fun to read from the perspective of. But as a Dark Olympus reader, his perspective was also bittersweet, I don’t think the big sweet boy realises how much his sisters think of him and that they miss him. Meg, delicious, strong, empowering Meg. I was obsessed with her. I love that even though Hades was the authorative figure in all of this, she had agency. And Hades, what a great character, his dubious moral compass was incredibly well written and the dynamics of the three together worked well. They all contrasted and complimented each other beautifully. The fact that this version came with annotations from Katee Robert elevated the reading experience, and, as someone who has been following them for years now, I absolutely could hear their voice cutting into the story to further elaborate. Thank you to Netgalley, Katee Robert and publishers, who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. These thoughts are all my own.
