At the Academy of the Gods, winner takes all and the games are about to begin.
The name's Kore, daughter of Demeter, crown goddess of spring, but you can call me Kory.
Along with my invitation to attend the elite Olympus Academy where all the top deities send their brats for training, comes the news that I'm betrothed to Hades, tall, dark, and brooding god of the underworld.
I'd much rather be Queen Bee of my girl gang back home, slinging panaceas to spoiled rich Olympians, but I have three years to enjoy my life before I'm ruling the denizens of hell at Hades' side and I refuse to waste it making him look good.
Turns out, my betrothed has a gang of his own. The Triad, made up of Hades, Loki, and Fenrir, rules the school and they expect me to bow down like everyone else.
Sure, Janus. Cue eyeroll.
The three of them share everything, and when I humiliate Hades my first night at the Academy by making the tiniest immortal faux pas, their lust turns to cruelty and they start to edge in on my side hustle, but that's fine with me. Four can play at that game.

The overall arching plot line/ idea is what drew me in and kept reading through the various books. Sadly, this does not entirely make up for the issues with consistency, lack of connections in scattered plot points, little or no motivations behind character’s actions, and more.
The overall series lacks follow through on several plot points that are set up as foreshadowing that could have given great interest to the story as a whole. Sadly, none of these moments of foreshadow take place.
The characters themselves are all written well with the exception of Hades. He comes across as a spoiled rich kid fitting certain tropes of this kind of character. His narration could also have something to do with this character and their choices coming off as a bit cringeworthy, eye rolling at the least.
I am a major fan of combining different mythos and storylines so that they can coincide and mingle well with one another. However, one can not simply skip over known mythos in ways that create incestuous relationships just to use certain characters. Additionally, renaming Persephone “Kore” or “Kory” was not a welcome change to the mythos- particularly when no other famous mythological character has been renamed.
Lastly, all three books could have been written as one. They are each labeled as “semesters”. One would assume that these would then take place in different semesters, however the timeline is so muddled that there is no clear marker of what semester we are in. There are three books, but what seems like two semesters. Additionally, there is not a large enough story arc and cliff hanger within each book to make a series necessary.
Overall, the ideas behind the storyline are very, very good. Just poorly executed. I do not find these books to be worth their three credits, though you might.
Poorly executed series. Should be one book.
