This trilogy is one of the few things that prove that 2020, in its entirety, has not been a dumpster fire. I latch on to the things that give me joy, and that is this author and her Hades trilogy and now Zeus. I am always guaranteed to be able to get lost in her modern mythological worlds and forget that life exists.

This book picks up right where the last book ended. It is intense. The interactions between Zeus and Hades in this book were sublime. I am not sure how the author manages to create such anti-hero characters that are both quite dickish yet endearing at the same time. However, what really drew me this time was the growth in Zeus as he vacillated in his desire to be both the man that he was and the man he wanted to be. It wasn't an easy ride considering he is a complex man. I liked that Bridgit challenged him. I liked that she was confident in her belief of who he was behind the mask. The steamy times between these two were FIRE in this book. It shouldn't have been hot but it SOOOOOO was.

I did have a couple of areas that I wished had been different, mainly Demeter, but for the most part, this was the perfect conclusion to this trilogy. I loved the peek into what is coming next. I thought it would be someone else, an antiheroine perhaps but regardless, I am excited to read it. I highly recommend these interconnected trilogies to anyone that loves mythology and a great story.
