It’s always exciting when a new book in the Dark Olympus series comes out. I love the world Katee Robert has built and the different characters and motivations that mix together and drive them. This 5th installment was the first one where I’d say full polygamy was at play. Not every one of the main narrators had attraction for the others. But they still all worked together in a very cohesive unit. While Aphrodite (Eris) and Hephaestus (Theseus) were the main two, I found myself more intrigued by the Pandora and Adonis POVs. Altogether it worked to show how much of an uproar the events from ‘Radiant Sin’ are now affecting Olympus, and even more how dangerous these political games are. I would’ve loved to see more into the minds and backgrounds of the 4 characters. We saw a little, but some things felt unanswered when the story came to a close. I’m intrigued to see where these characters end up next in the story, especially now that they’ve all given up any major hand in the politics of Olympus. Overall, I’d say this book was very good. The plot development was nice and the spice was even nicer.
