Fire & Fate

As a fan of Serena Valentino's Villains series, I was eagerly anticipating Fire and Fate, and it did not disappoint. Valentino once again demonstrates her talent for crafting compelling and complex characters, breathing new life into the timeless tale of Hades and Persephone.

One of the standout aspects of Fire and Fate is Valentino's masterful blend of mythology and original storytelling. She seamlessly weaves together elements of Greek mythology with her own unique twists and interpretations, creating a rich and immersive world that captivates the reader from beginning to end.

Hades and Persephone's relationship is at the heart of the story, and Valentino deftly explores the nuances of their dynamic. Their chemistry is palpable, their banter witty, and their emotional journey deeply resonant. As they confront their pasts and forge a path forward, the reader is taken on a rollercoaster of emotions, rooting for their love to prevail against all odds.

In addition to the compelling characters and romance, Fire and Fate is also a thrilling adventure filled with twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. The stakes are high, the pacing is relentless, and the climax is nothing short of epic.

In conclusion, Fire and Fate is a must-read for fans of mythology, romance, and Disney's Villains series. It's a spellbinding tale of love, redemption, and the enduring power of hope. I highly recommend it and give it a full 5 stars.

Thank you NetGalley for my ARC in exchange for a review. As a mass Greek Mythology Nerd, I was ecstatic that the 10th book in Valentino's series was to be Hades. Personally I enjoyed the book but must mention the importance of reading earlier works to gain full effect of the story. Valentino ties up some loose ends in a truly satisfying way.
