Resumen del Editor

It's all fun and games to them - especially when someone gets hurt.

One god of mischief and mayhem.

One god of fur and fang.

And the god of death himself.

They've all been out to get me since the school year began, but this semester, the Rabbit's got some tricks up her sleeve.

It's time to take these three vicious gods down a peg, or 10, and there's no better route to revenge than directly through the heart.

I just have to make sure I don't get caught up in the twisted game myself.

Find a new male narrator PLEASE

The story is fun, the characters are good the male Narrator is probably worse than the virtual narrator, please find a new one, he makes it hard to take any of the characters seriously in their roles.

Poorly executed series. Should be one book.

Please Note: This review encompasses the entire series but contains no spoilers.

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.
