A Game of Retribution

Hades Saga, Book 2

De: Scarlett St. Clair

Narrado por: Tyler Donne

Become enchanted by the fantasy world of gods and mortals in bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair's reimagined New Greece. Listeners are "hopelessly addicted" to the story of Hades and Persephone told from Hades's point of view.

Hades, God of the Dead, does not take sides or bend the rules. He makes no exceptions to these values—not for god or mortal, even his lover, Persephone, Goddess of Spring.

Usually, fear prevents retaliation.

But not this time.

When Hera, Goddess of Women, approaches Hades with a plan to overthrow Zeus, he declines to offer help. As punishment, Hera sentences Hades to perform a series of labors. Each feat seems more impossible than the last and draws his attention away from Persephone—whose own tragedy has left her questioning whether she can be Queen of the Underworld.

Can Hades maintain the balance he craves?

Contains mature themes.

Narrator mispronounces names

Good story, compliments the main POV without overlapping too much like a lot of other dual-perspective series. The thing I can’t get past to give this higher marks is the narrator pronouncing names incorrectly, like Leuce (correct is “LAY-uh-key” but he pronounces it “loose”) and Dionysus (he swaps between correct and “di-oh-NEES-us”). Was hoping he’d fix it between books but alas, the next one is the same.

Hooked on every chapter!

I would listen to this over and over again! The storyline plot and level of spice got me at every page!

Much Better Than Persephone POV

I enjoy this side of the story so much more than Persephone. She is so whiny and immature.

i almost forgot how much i love these books.

long story short i got into a slump after reading the first 3 but decided to start back reading the series. just as i remembered couldnt put it down. just love the entire execution of the worlds and the continuation of the story. love.

I listened to it in two days at work...

I thoroughly enjoy the series. not knowing it was, was it was at the beginning but overall I'm very satisfied with both sides of the series

Worth the listen!

I was worried I wouldn’t care for Hade’s POV, but you have to! There is so much more behind the scenes here.

Love this series

The spice the plot and Hermes one of the best characters besides hades and persephone

Love it

I absolutely love hearing hades perspectives it gives you both sides of the story and you get to see what hades was doing when he was always busy

Enjoying the stories, issue with the audio.

Really enjoy hades POV BUT (and I don’t know who’s fault this is) the pronunciation of Leuce in this book was different than in A Touch of Ruin Persephone POV and it drove me insane. I thought it was a nickname Hades had for her and then I realized that was not the case, then thought maybe the author changed it but NOPE. Hopefully moving forward the two stories can get on the same page with how they pronounce Leuce in the recordings because it was really distracting.

Great Saga!

I love this Saga. It is truly a work of art. I will however say sometimes when the male narrator uses female voices it sounds a bit funny. As well as the words they read in the narration is not the same as what is written in the physical book sometimes. I tend to listen to the book and read along with the physical copy and have noticed this in this one and in others in the series. Some of the names are pronounced differently too from the male narrator and female narrator. For example the name Leuce.
