Review of 'Treasure Island (Scholastic Star Edition, TX190)' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
Another 5* in this series for me, mainly because I've really grown to love the titan of death, and have always had a weakness for Hecate. Really enjoying how the women are integrated into this inner-circle-like group and how they keep appearing.
Hecate and Thanatos' story is well paced, and makes more sense than some of the others, I feel. <spoiler>As I mentioned in reviews for the previous books, sometimes the pacing is off and suddenly they are eternally in love, with little in terms of build-up. Here, we get a love story that is thousands of years in the making, or rather, has waited to be acted upon. Really enjoyed that take!</spoiler>
Spice level 3.5/5, really enjoyable but not super full on (compared to eg ACOSF); the chemistry between the two is described quite well though. Lovely way to spend an afternoon or evening!
