À propos de cet audio
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.

Histoire
When Pestilence comes for Sara Burn’s town, one thing is certain: everyone she knows and loves is marked for death. Unless, of course, the angelic-looking horseman is stopped, which is exactly what Sara has in mind when she shoots the unholy beast off his steed. Too bad no one told her Pestilence can’t be killed. Now the horseman, very much alive and very pissed off, has taken her prisoner, and he’s eager to make her suffer. Only, the longer she’s with him, the more uncertain she is about his true feelings towards her, and hers towards him. And now, well, Sara might still be able to save the world, but in order to do so, she'll have to sacrifice her heart in the process.

Histoire
All Gesela's life, her home village of Elk has been cursed. And it isn't a single curse—it is one after another, each to be broken by a villager, each with devastating consequences. When Elk's well goes dry, it is Gesela's turn to save her town by killing the toad that lives at the bottom. Except . . . the toad is not a toad at all. He is an Elven prince under a curse of his own, and upon his death, his brothers come for Gesela, seeking retribution.

Histoire
When I was a little girl, I dreamed a handsome knight would come and rescue me from my wretched mother. He'd ride up on his white steed and break the curse I've been fated to carry since the day I was born. Funny how things changed over time, how the fairytale twisted into something far more crooked—and darker—than I ever imagined. In reality, my knight is scarred and broken, living alone in a castle of bones that overlooks the sea. He isn’t searching for me. He never was.

When everything is on the line, how far will you go to protect those you love? What if the cost of saving them is your soul? Would you pay it? I thought I was prepared for what was coming; that if I made sacrifices, I could win this game. I’m no longer afraid of the darkness or the monsters that hide in the shadows. I’ve become what I feared most, allowing it in to protect those I loved. Sometimes it takes a monster to win. Sometimes to fight monsters, you have to become one. My only fear is…can I come back from it?

To most, Kal Anderson is a villain. Harbinger of death, keeper of souls, frequenter of nightmares. Doctor Death. Hades incarnate. They say he stole me. Usurped my fiancé and filled the cracks in my heart with empty promises. Imprinted his crimson fingerprints on my psyche and tried to set me free. They’re not wrong, per se. Except it was my choice to stay.

One heroic act damned me for eternity. With a name like Tor, I should have been a hero, just like my father and twin. Turns out I’m not. Not even close. Instead I’m the very thing we hunted. A depraved monster. I thought there was no escaping the curse. No hope for a future. And then I met my mate in the unlikeliest of places: Blackwood Asylum. A place for criminals. Power-hungry madmen. Supernatural outcasts. And her, the curvaceous writer who sees ghosts.

My whole world changed when I stepped inside the academy. Nothing is right about this place or the other students in it. Here I am, a mere mortal among gods...or monsters. I still can't decide which of these warring factions I belong to, if I belong at all. I only know the one thing that unites them is their hatred of me. Then there's Jaxon Vega. A vampire with deadly secrets who hasn't felt anything for a hundred years. But there's something about him that calls to me, something broken in him that somehow fits with what's broken in me. Which could spell death for us all.

Great companion to the series
This story gives us more than just Hades perspective on the previous books, we’re getting much more story. We get to see the how Hades uncovers the machinations of the Gods, learn more about their motivations and relationships.
The performance was good, but I found it difficult to hear accents given to characters that were not given accents by the performance provided in the other audiobooks. It’s really hard to hear the voices that were done so marvellously by someone else interpreted differently, but for the most part he does nail down the characters well. You do just have to get used to the different voice.

Spicy and Intense
Overall Rating: 5/5 ⭐️ Spice Rating: 3.75/5 🌶
This is the second book in Scarlett St. Clair’s Hades Saga. This book picks up directly after the events of A Game of Fate and can be read concurrently with A Touch of Ruin from the Hades X Persephone series.
This book is told from Hades’ perspective, and runs during the same time as A Touch of Ruin. However, it is important to note that this is not just ATOR from Hades’ POV, but rather it is a separate book and contains other important plot elements that are not present in ATOR but that will contribute to the storyline as both series’ progress.
A Game of Retribution was beautifully narrated by Tyler Donne who also narrated A Game of Fate. Donne does an excellent job of bringing St. Clair’s Hades to life. His voice is dark, sultry, and conveys just the right amount of lust and violence. The flow between sections is seamless, and not at all choppy which I like. Additionally, there is very clear differentiation between characters, so it is easy to tell who is speaking and when. The pacing I found to be a bit too slow. However, I find this is normally the case when I listen to audiobooks. I recommend listening to this one on 1.3X speed. While I love Donne’s narration, his voices used for the female characters are sometimes a bit awkward, particularly during explicit scenes. It can sometimes be difficult for male narrators to do female voices without them sounding cringy, and I found the voice used for Persephone to be a bit awkward, but it didn't deter me from listening. Overall, Donne provided excellent narration, and really brought the characters (especially Hades and Hermes) to life.
What I really love about the way St. Clair has written the Hades Saga and the Hades X Persephone series’ is that each, while having overlapping timelines, are entirely unique. St. Clair does a good job of showing Hades’ character and what is going on in his head behind the scenes. One thing that Persephone and Hades both struggle with throughout the series’ is communication, and I loved being able to see how Hades’ justified his lack of communication, and I also loved being super annoyed with Persephone for once. However, as this is now the 5th book in the series, I do hope that the miscommunication issues get left behind for the remainder of the books because at this point it is starting to get a bit old.
The characters felt real, and had a good number of flaws that contribute to their likability. Personally, I loved seeing Hades’ vulnerabilities shine through in this book. In A Touch of Ruin you eventually learn that Hades was scared to share the entirety of his realm with Persephone because he feared her moral compass would shun it, but it is really charming having a glimpse of how deeply he fears her rejection in AGOR. Also, Hades' love and possessiveness of Persephone is pretty much everything I want.
Scarlett’s writing style continues to mature as she writes more and more. This book was significantly less awkward than A Touch of Darkness (which I still loved, but sometimes had a few cringe moments in). The book is wonderfully ~spicy~ but not in a way that the plot is taken over, and I thought overall it was quite well balanced.
My main critique is that some of the tropes used in the first several books in the two series are starting to get a bit old. The jealousy, mistrust and miscommunications are good in furthering the plot in the first few novels, but what I really want to see now is Hades and Persephone grow and mature together as a couple.
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a decent amount of spice, fantasy, and mythological retellings. If you’ve read St. Clair’s A Touch of Darkness series, it is essential you read these books too before the release of A Touch of Chaos. Scarlett’s suggested reading order is as follows:
A Touch of Darkness
A Game of Fate
A Touch of Ruin
A Game of Retribution
A Touch of Malice
There are two more releases coming for this series: A Touch of Chaos (2023) and A Game of Gods (2023) but Scarlett hasn’t declared where they will fit into the order.
World-Building: 5/5
Characters: 4.5/5
Romance: 4.5/5
Writing Style: 4/5
Plot: 4.5/5
Overall Rating: 5/5
