Description
After Hercules proves he's a true hero and regains his godship, all seems right in the world. That is, until Zeus tells Meg that she can't be with Hercules because she's, well, mortal. Luckily, Hera has a solution, offering Meg a chance to prove herself worthy of a spot on Mt. Olympus--as a god. All Meg has to do is complete a mysterious quest.
The mission? Oh, just to rescue her ex's current wife from the Underworld. The ex-boyfriend she saved by selling her soul to Hades. The ex-boyfriend who immediately moved on to someone else while she was stuck in the Underworld. Can Meg put her past behind her and use her quick-wit to defeat monsters and gods alike, including the nefarious Hades? Will she finally figure out her place and contribution to the world? Or will her fear of commitment have her running away from an eternity of godhood with Herc?
Written by the author of Mirror, Mirror and Conceal, Don't Feel, Jen Calonita's latest twist is sure to delight and surprise.

When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong 💫
Ein gelungenes Twisted Tale mit einer wunderbaren Protagonistin, die uns auf eine bewegende Reise mitnimmt. Megs Geschichte berührt und die letzten Seiten fliegen nur so dahin. Dies ist eins der wenigen Twisted Tales, wo ich sofort eine Fortsetzung lesen würde, und eine gefühlvolle Ode an die Liebe, die zeigt, was wirklich wichtig ist: To love and be loved in return 💕
This was my third Twisted Tale, and while they were all from the same author, I feel like none of them were what I was really longing for. This story picks up exactly where the Hercules movie ends, and as not the biggest Hercules fan, I wanted a little bit more context/info from the movie. But that was not the main problem; it wasn't even the plot which included Meg trying to become a God and getting sent to the Underwold, where she meets Hades (again) and Persephone (which tbh was a cute addition). My biggest issue was that this book read super young, definitely middle grade, kind of bland and with a cringe humor. What I love so much about the Disney movies is that while their target audience are kids, you are still able to enjoy them as an adult. But these books... they are a pain to read through with an adult mind.
