Resumen del Editor

Is Hermes still Hermes without his speed?

For so long, Hermes has been defined by the powers possessing the caduceus entails. Giving it up was necessary, but something is missing. Feeling incomplete upon his return to the mortal realm, Hermes turns to the one person who can fill the void within him. The one person he'd already given his heart to. Who had broken it thoroughly once before. Who now possesses the very thing he had to give up for disobeying an edict from Zeus…

Hybris is free from her accursed power over hubris, and she is not going to take it for granted. She can now have everything she's ever wanted, admit anything she's ever kept secret, and love freely - but what if Hermes comes to resent her for it? Without hubris, her self-doubt is allowed free reign, and she does not like it one bit.

When a vengeful dragon comes after their son, Pan, on his wedding day, Hermes and Hybris must break Zeus' edict one more time. Interfering with the affairs of satyrs is impossible to avoid when it becomes personal. The real question they both have is whether their interference will bring them together at last or send them both to the depths of Tartarus in the end.

Didn't call to me

I received a code for this audiobook not realizing it was in the middle of a series. So this was the first story by this author. On that note, I don't know how the previous stories were, but I wish there would have been a little more backstory. For example, how did humans end up in Olympus? So many names and things were mentioned and I had no clue who they were or what event they were talking about. A lot of the time, the dialogue also came across as robotic. Don't be scared of contractions!

So because of the above issues, I didn't feel anything for the characters and hence why I gave it three stars. It's my own fault, though.

The narrator did a good job.

One thing about stories that I'm so over is sex scenes. Ninety-nine percent of them are the same. They bore me now because no imagination seems to go into them anymore. Had there been a hint to that in the book's blurb, I definitely wouldn't have asked for a code.

Based on what I know about this story, it doesn't interest me enough to check out the series.

not for me

This story was hard to follow, now Im not sure if it's because of the way it was written or if it was because I started the series in the middle (didn't realize it was a series). I just felt you would needed a lot of either background info from previous books in the series or in Greek mythology in general to follow along.

The narrator did a good job. A little squeaky with the female voices.

Original and Captivating!

This is the third book in The Adventures of Hermes Series. The characters are amazing! The storyline is original, captivating, entertaining, and action packed. Ray Lesniewski did a great job with the narration. I enjoyed it.
