Ich liebe diese Reihe aus Hades Sicht! Man erfährt auch hier wieder soo viel mehr über seine Motivation. Ich hab’s praktisch verschlungen. Ich habe es zuerst auf englisch gelesen und dann auf deutsch. Leider muss ich gestehen, dass ich manche Teile der Story erst im deutschen richtig verstanden habe.
Dark, twisty, and very much heated. Scarlett St. Clair knows how to write angst and A Game of Gods is perfection for her. My heart was in my throat for most of it and I cannot wait for more!
I feel like each release is my new favorite and A Game of Gods is no different! The multiple POVs here worked together seamlessly and I adore seeing what Hades was up to in A Touch of Malice while also being along for his interactions with other gods. Although a new perspective of a prior story, this (like all of the Hades POVs) isn’t a regurgitation of A Touch of Malice. The perspective switch from Persephone to Hades adds to the compelling nature of the world Scarlett has built. This was an absolute masterpiece and a must read before A Touch of Chaos. Absolutely blown away—once again! Go Scar, and congratulations on your release day.
I don’t know how Scarlet St. Clair creates these an ultra spicy books with such addictive storylines, characters, and world building!
This series is perfect for those wanting to try something beyond ACOTAR for 🌶️!
I am so deeply invested in this series! Absolutely love hearing the events from Hades perspective and getting a peek into what happened while we were none the wiser! Scarlett St. Clair does an incredible job every time and I adore her books!
Hades story will always hold a special place in my heart. Having his POV is always something that amazes me, as his experiences go so far beyond the here and now. Game of Gods is perhaps the most critical culmination of that.
Watching Hades work so hard for his future with Persephone is why I love him so much. He's far from perfect, but they're perfect together.
The side cast on this one is also 5 stars!!! Omg. Yes yes yes.
Rereading these in preparation for the release of Chaos.. and I just can't believe we're almost there.
I'm so so excited for the final book!!
I love this series. Getting to read everything from Hades perspective adds so much intrigue and complexity to the story. I love all the steamy scenes with Persephone and seeing how far they will go for eachother. I love forward to the next chapter in the story!!
I’m so hooked on this Hades Saga by Scarlett St. Clair! In A GAME OF GODS, Hades and Persephone had such great chemistry and the spicy scenes were just SO good!
WHAT TO EXPECT
-romantasy
-Greek mythology retelling
-Hades x Persephone
*many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the gifted copy for review
This one was kind of a miss for me. I’m not sure if it’s just been too long between the this and the other books or if I’m Just not that into the multiple POV story. This was kind of a drudge to get through.
Scarlett St. Clair delivers another great novel in this series. I’m seriously in love with Hades. Still hanging on the edge of my seat waiting for the finale.
Once again Hades and Persephone’s love story has me held captive waiting for the next instalment. I would read Scarlett’s grocery list at this point!
A Game of Gods is perfect for fans of spicy Greek mythology retellings.
This book is A Touch of Malice from Hades’ POV. Persephone and Hades are investigating the attack of gods while trying to get their marriage approved by Zeus.
I gave this book 4/5 stars. I love this series and can’t wait for the next book. The only thing I didn’t like was how much spice was in it. It felt like that was all they were doing and it got tiring after a while. If lots of spice is your thing though, this book is perfect for you. That was my only issue with the book. I like how there were multiple POVS in this book even though it is mainly from Hades perspective. There is a lot of action in this book at the end which I also liked. I would recommend this book to others. This book is part of an interconnected series, so if you aren’t interested in that, then I wouldn’t recommend reading this. Overall, this book was good and I am excited about to read the next one.
I am always weary of reading the same story in a different POV, but the hades series has been different enough to keep me interested, and a game of gods had me hooked the entire time. The different POVs, the details about people and situations we only get glimpses of in Persephone’s book, getting to be inside of Hades’ head, I absolutely loved it. Book 3 was my favorite of the series, and that cliff hanger!!!! if you enjoyed Persephone’s side, I highly encourage picking up Hades’ side as well. A big shout out to NetGalley for the arc!
I enjoyed this a lot, as previous books in the series. Dionysus and Ariadne stole the show! Still love Hades & Sephy but loveee the budding newcomers.
The highly anticipated Hades saga is finally here! "A Touch of Darkness" was one of the very first series that rekindled my love for reading, and I'm eternally grateful for that.
I absolutely adore the Hades saga. It's an incredible experience to delve into both sides of the story, shedding light on aspects that Persephone's tales might have left unanswered, but Hades is my definite favorite of the two book sagas. His perspective gives us so much more insight than Persephone's.
This book delivered everything I could have hoped for. It expertly refreshed my memory on all the preceding events, unveiled perspectives that were missing from Persephone's narrative, and, not to mention, we had the sheer delight of indulging in Hades' wonderfully wicked language. The inclusion of chapters featuring Dionysus and Ariadne was a phenomenal bonus. The frequency with which a certain request was made in this book had me absolutely enthralled.
I received an ARC of this title from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own and were not affected by the free copy.
I've said it once, and I'll say it again, Hades storyline is just better than Persephone's. I really enjoying reading the things Hades is doing to try to secure his future with Persephone, while doing everything in his power to mess everything up. St. Clair does a really great job keeping the storyline fresh, even though it's a retelling of books. I did a reread of the both series, alternating after each book, which really showed how much was going on that we didn't know about.
The only thing I didn't like about this book were the couple of chapters told from a particular demigod, left me feeling all skeeved out. The other POVs were great, just not his.
I will definitely be continuing the series!
Scarlet St Clair is absolutely killing it with this as I was quite impressed by it and totally understand the hype. I look forward to checking out more of her books.
Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an arc for an honest review.
I had previously only read the books in this series from Persephone's perspective, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I was worried that it would be boring to read the same story again, but that was not the case. I liked the added story lines and different perspective; I enjoyed it just as much as the other perspective.
Thank you to Bloom Books and NetGalley for providing me with an advance copy of the book.
Absolutely adore this. Hades’ perspective has been a fave of mine for some time now and game of gods was no different.
Fans of fated lovers, mythology, romantasy, and dark god tropes I have a series for you!
While this book is great stand alone, it’s 100x better if you’ve started from the beginning or in tandem with a touch of darkness for the full *WOW* factor!
This spin off series of Hades perspective adds so much depth to the whole Persephone X Hades saga. You learn so much more about the 3 brother dynamics, Theseus and his triad and I absolutely loved how we got the know about Dionysus and Ariadne’s story.
The author really brings together ancient myth and modernizes it with her own twist in a way that is incredibly engaging, thoughtful, and oh so sexy. I’ve read a lot of retellings of Hades and Persephone which are repetitive and predictable. This series along with a touch of darkness just beats out any competition by a mile. I will forever cherish these books!
