Okay I gave this author another try because I’m obsessed with stories about Hades and Persephone. This time I read all 3 books in one sitting as a complete edition which made the experience better for me. And it’s not even 600 pages for 3 books - so that was no problem. The series is a fast read, the plot is ok but has not a lot of layers. The suspense is partly there but isn’t mind blowing. Like her other series - the author scratches some level of world building but in the end it’s never more than some pages describing a room or a landscape. The characters are ok but don’t have many layers or at least readers won’t be able to explore them. The ending was super kitschy af - something the author likes to do, I guess. What the author is really good in, is writing her Jester-characters- I loved that little sassy gnome and the banter was great. Recommend - 50/50. I read it, so there you go - and I think it’s enjoyable. I won’t read more from this author though. No hard feelings - just not my taste.
