A Game of Gods (Hades x Persephone Saga, 6)

Holly Hummel

Love H’s POV

"I tandem read A Touch of Malice and A Game Of Gods, and that is the only way to go! It give you all you need to know and different sides of what’s happening. In this H is dealing with a lot. He’s trying to protect Persephone because gods are being attacked. He’s trying to figure out who’s doing the attacks while trying to help Dionysus find Medusa and the ophiotaurus before they fall into the wrong hands. It was awesome. We get not only H’s POV but also Dionysus and Theseus’s as well. All these added layers to the story to make for an epic read. The way this ends made me want to jump into the last book right away. This had a different ending than A Touch of Malice since Persephone and H are in different places as the story ends. I can’t wait for the final book. 🌶️Spice wise: the chapters that contained spice were 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 12, 17, 21, 24, 25, 28, 31, 36, 38, 39, and 41. There were quite a bit of spicy scenes. Some were shorter others less explicit. The story line was excellent though so I would say the spice isn’t the main focus of this story. There was a lot of strong plot in here. ["

Good info, but if you’re easily triggered avoid atleast Theseus chapters cause oh boy

"Not my favorite in the series, but still a solid 4 stars for how much we get from Hades’ POV. He’s dealing with so much—doubt, love, guilt, pressure—and it really shows how heavy his role is. It gave a lot of insight and made me see earlier events differently. Dionysus was such a standout. He starts off as his usual chaotic self, but watching him open up and grow (especially with that budding relationship 👀) was honestly one of my favorite parts. Now Theseus? Absolutely awful to be in his head. So gross. Same with Poseidon—every scene he’s in just felt icky. Oh, and the Zeus castration reveal??? Wild. Did not see that one coming. Loved the little nods to Greek epics too—super fun to catch if you’re into mythology. Overall, it’s darker and slower, but still gave a lot of good layers to the story. Worth it for Hades alone. ["

That Cliffhanger!

"Scarlett did it again! When I read it again, I'm doing a tandem read with A Touch of Malice, because I need to read the two side by side. If you have't read the Hades saga yet, I highly recommend it, because it's amazing. Gods has multiple POVs. We still get to see what Hades is up to when he is and isn't with Persephone. Which means we also get more Hermes and Hecate, which I am all for. They are my favorites! He's also dealing with trying to stop Demeter and others who are harming the gods, goddesses, and their favored. Dionysus, who we also get multiple POVs from, is trying to help Hades with the help of Ariadne, who is trying to save her sister from a horrible situation. Dionysus's chapters were some of my favorites to read...I mean the sheep!! Plus the chemistry between him and Ariadne is so good! Then there are my least favorite chapters, there ones from Theseus's POV. Between the treatment of his wife, well his overall treatment to women in general, I wanted to throw up! Scarlett knows how to write some amazing characters you can't help but love, and some horrible characters you just want to smack in the face. It's sad to think that there is only one book left in the series, which I'm eagerly anticipating. I almost forgot how brutal of a cliffhanger Malice was, until I read Gods. I just hope everyone makes it out in one piece, and that someone finally gives Theseus what's coming to him! ["

Packaged poorly but the read was great!

"Corners were a little bend from only being packaged in a bag vs a box. I love the content of the series though! ["

Amazing POV in this continuing series!

"A Game of Gods by Scarlett St. Clair, the sixth installment in the series, offers a captivating dive back into the world of Hades & Persephone, with Hades taking center stage. Revisiting the story from Hades' perspective, especially after the events in A Touch of Malice, provided a fresh point of view, especially in preparation for A Touch of Chaos. As a fan who discovered the first book A Touch of Darkness, this series holds a special place for me. Scarlett St. Clair's ability to breathe life into Hades and Persephone's love story is commendable. The stories evolution keeps the series engaging, and returning to it after a while since Malice felt like a great reconnection with these characters. Hades and Persephone’s love story is captivating and an amazing blend of darkness and growth into a unique and enduring bond. Scarlett St. Clair's writing style remains a highlight, drawing readers into the intricate web of mythology and emotions. A Game of Gods not only met my expectations but added layers to the framework for this series. This series, especially the latest installment, continues to be a significant part of my reading journey (being the first one that got me back into reading), rekindling my love for books. ["
