A Game of Retribution

Hades Saga, Book 2

By: Scarlett St. Clair

Narrated by: 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 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

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.
