I honestly really liked this book. I enjoyed the characters, the plot, and the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus. I especially appreciated Hermes' role in the story as in myth he is the only god that can come and go to the Underworld as he pleases so I loved seeing him play a similar role in this story. There were a couple of things that bothered me enough that I couldn't rate this book higher but I am eagerly awaiting the next installment in the series.

I received the ARC for this story this morning and an hour and a half later I've already devoured it! It was short and sweet and despite all that needed to get done for the story to be completed it didn't feel too long or short. Something I find incredibly annoying in books is when I feel that the issues that need to be addressed aren't and I didn't feel that here at all (save very minor things that are personal preference and not a testament to the writing). I will admit I do wish we got more time to see Kiora and Raden together but the little bits were a good way of teasing the audience so despite my urge to consume romance I can appreciate the author's choice to have it that way! All in all, this was an amazing pallet cleanser that came at the perfect time for me and I'm so grateful I was given the chance to read it.

So far this has been my favourite from the Wicked Villains series though I have absolutely loved the other ones. I think I just really loved their particular relationship dynamic and I can’t fucking wait till I have the money to buy the rest of the series.
