The World Will Burn

Persephone, Goddess of Spring, never guessed a chance encounter with Hades, God of the Underworld, would change her life forever—but he did.

A fight for humanity and battles between gods, it's a world Persephone never thought she would see. To end the chaos, she must draw upon her darkness and embrace who she's become—Goddess, Wife, Queen of the Underworld.

Once, Persephone made bargains to save those she loves, now she will go to war for them.

It’s art. We’ll call it.. Iapetus’s reckoning.

Theseus considered their love a weakness, but he would soon discover how wrong he was.

The worst part, though, was waking without him.

Sometimes our love forces us to do extraordinary things

They had gone through unimaginable things and neither had been able to be there for the other.

the only thing I fear is not having you at my side

For someone who gets laid so often, you are really fucking oblivious.

In the end, she had saved him from everything.

You have become my past, my present and my future.

except that this time, she was basically marrying his entire realm.

the plots were JUICY!!! However, the smut was too much. I kept skipping.

Ok I’m DNFing this. I’m just realizing that the story doesn’t hold up on its own without the excessive smut and I’m not as invested as i thought oops.

Perfect and beautiful way to end the series. I was so invested in this series, I can’t believe it’s come to an end. It’s going to be one I’ll reread forsure. 

This feels like a clumsy attempt to combine the Iliad, Avengers Endgame, and Kingdom of Ash. It was a complete departure from the writing style, themes, and and general atmosphere of the past 5 books. 

 The sexually violent scenes felt like they were quite literally chucked into the book with zero purpose and were all the more jarring and odd for it. 

Also, throughout the entire series, there has only been one perspective (Hades in "A Game of.." and Persephone in "A Touch of.."), so I was annoyed that the narration expanded to several other perspectives that really didn't add all that much. (Honestly, felt like Ithan or Tharion's chapters in CC3...)

It felt like she was trying to do a Throne of Glass style narration where multiple narrations converge when the plot has reached its fever pitch, but the final installment of a 6 book series is NOT the place to START that. 

The first time I read through this series I was really bought in... then I reread everything before starting this book and was really disappointed by it and couldn't quite remember what I had loved about it...
