Our Review of A Touch of Darkness
"A Touch of Darkness" by Scarlett St. Clair had us hooked from the very beginning. The world-building in this novel is absolutely incredible, creating a vivid and immersive experience that makes you feel as though you're living among gods and goddesses. The allure of such a setting is undeniable, and St. Clair does a fantastic job of making it feel both magical and tangible.
Despite the enchantment of the world, it's worth noting that the book takes some liberties with the traditional myths. This was pointed out by my buddy reader, Saja, who noted the inaccuracies in the mythological details. While this might bother purists, it didn't detract from our enjoyment. The story's strength lies in its characters, plot, and the world St. Clair has crafted, making it easy to overlook the historical deviations.
Persephone, our protagonist, is a character who elicited mixed feelings. There were moments in the middle of the book where her actions and constant jealousy were frustrating. However, her character development is commendable, and by the end of the story, we found ourselves appreciating her growth. Her journey from insecurity to self-assurance is one of the book's highlights.
Hecate, the witty and wise side character, adds a delightful layer of humor and wisdom to the story. She quickly became one of our favorite characters with her sharp wit and insightful commentary. Similarly, Hermes brings much-needed comic relief, balancing the more intense moments of the plot. These characters enrich the narrative, making the world even more engaging.
And then there's Hades. Described with a modern twist, including a man bun that had us laughing out loud, Hades is a character you can't help but love. His complex personality and the chemistry between him and Persephone are central to the story's charm. The romance is steamy and well-executed, adding an extra layer of allure to the book. The "spice" in their relationship is a highlight, making it a memorable aspect of the story.
This book stands out as one of our favorite mythological retellings, despite its inaccuracies. The immersive world, compelling character arcs, and the blend of humor and romance make it a delightful read. We had a wonderful time with "A Touch of Darkness" and are eagerly looking forward to continuing the series. For readers who enjoy a mix of mythology, romance, and modern twists, this book is definitely worth picking up.
