Moving lets you push two of your pieces up to three spaces each. This is how you get into position for battles and claim territory for the scoring phases, and there’s really not much more to say about it. Although the Neon God was apparently unstoppable and would inevitably take over the entire multiverse, it was stated that because of the nature of how the multiverse worked, following the Neon God's takeover a second multiverse would be created in which the God didn't exist or takeover. In one universe taken over by the Neon God a simple but strong storm proved to be capable of destroying the false city it created, which also freed the inhabitants from the God's influence. From the start, the reader is able to feel and see the spark between the two – even before they admit it. And what starts off as a fake relationship turns into something much more. I just couldn’t deal with these two, at all. I adored them.I get shivers just thinking of their interactions. SHIVERS."—Mimi Koehler for The Nerd Dailey for Neon Gods As a disgraced member of a fallen house, Cassandra Gataki has seen firsthand what comes from trusting the venomous Thirteen. Zeus may have decided Helen is his to give to away, but she has her own plans. She enters into the competition as a middle finger to the meddling Thirteen rulers, effectively vying for her own hand in marriage. Unfortunately, there are those who would rather see her dead than lead the city. The only people she can trust are the ones she can't keep her hands off-Achilles and Patroclus. But can she really believe they have her best interests at heart when every stolen kiss is a battlefield? You cannot tell, and so the once great NeoAmerican cities lie empty. How can you feel safe, in your cities full of beauty and wonder and diversity and life, when forces beyond your control might warp it into something unrecognizable overnight? Hades and Persephone were hot together, they were fire and these scenes just added to it. And it’s not just the scenes that they do, but when they are alone you can see that they truly do care for one another, even if they don’t want to admit it.

I had a great time playing Neon Gods. It has one of my favorite themes, tense and exciting gameplay, and excellent replay value with the different scenarios. It’s a lot of fun and well worth buying, but there are a couple of things to be aware of before you do. I love the city. I love it all. I love its alleyways and its theatres, blaring white light into their moaning and shrieking faces. I love the pristine slums, scrubbed to the bone, like any self-respecting city should have. I love its ancient monuments, destroyed and cast again in metal, to be destroyed again and recontextualised in the future. I love it all.Apollo may be the city’s official spymaster, but it’s his ability to inspire others that keeps him at the top. I love Hades and Persephone together in most retellings, but the romance in this one really does stand out. They are sexy, adorable and hot together. I pretty much smiled throughout the whole book because of these two. They were brilliant together and made the reading experience even more enjoyable. Being a living idea created of human thought, the Neon God has no real appearance and it depends on how humanity see it. Rosie Hartlepool described the Neon God as a massive wall filled with yellow artificial lights, which formed unknown words, and countless cables connecting it to the other buildings. I was fully immersed in the world from the start of Neon Gods and I didn’t want to leave. It was pretty epic and I loved the combination of the traditional elements of Greek Mythology while also still being very modern. Being the embodiment of the human desire to live together with each other, the Neon God didn't really have a personality of its own and only sought to achieve that desire by converting all land it came across into one city. Moreover, it didn't have any real understanding of what a city was or how it was supposed to work, and instead the city it created just superficially resembled one, with chaotic and nonsensical placement or proportions of the buildings with a random number of rooms which attempted to become real regardless of the God's efforts. The inhabitants after becoming possessed, they lost their minds, becoming emotionless and obsessed in living lives that were befitting to citizens. Its worshipers made their own interpretation of the Neon God as a being which represented the negation of everything and the destruction of all meaning, making it appear as a much more complex and profound being than it actually was. The God was shown to be emotionless with no real understanding of life or mind of its own. Beside wanting to transform all land it encountered into one unified city it also sought to bring in numerous people to become the inhabitants of its city. It was later stated that the Neon God felt some jealousy on how to other cities it had witnessed appeared and worked, and it wished to create a city of its own, but again it didn't understand how those other cities came to be and how they were supposed to work. When parts of its city were destroyed as a result of natural occurrences the Neon God was described as crying as its city couldn't withstand destruction.

One of my favourite conversations in Neon Gods– is when Hades and Persephone are talking about consent and safewords. Not only does it make me happy that this conversation takes place, but it adds to the sexiness of the book. Hades is a puppy dog. I don’t think that is something that you would hear very often, but he really is. On the outside, he has this grumpy exterior that we all know Hades to have, but Persephone sure does break him down. He was supposed to be a myth. But from the moment I crossed the River Styx and fell under his dark spell… he was, quite simply, mine. Got it? Now imagine you find that book—the one you dreamed about—delivered right into your hands. And boom, you have my review for Neon Gods by Katee Robert. Not convinced that you need this book in your life yet? Alright, let me elaborate. This concept is just so hard to explain and maybe if you have read the book you can see where I’m coming from. There is heat before any sexy time. There are these fantastic conversations and Hades and Persephone bring the heat. 3. Hades is a Cinnamon RollThe rest of the plot was rather simple. For all the myths about Hades, he was pretty chill. His people don’t fear him, which is the case in almost every Hades retelling. He might be dominant but he’s a softie that looks after his people. And without sharing spoilers, the ending was a little anticlimactic. A note that is called out by Hades. Since it’s told him his perspective, and he notes that it doesn’t resolve much for all the turmoil he’s gone through in his life. Not that it ultimately would. It wasn’t bad, but it was a simple solution. One that makes pretty much everyone but Zeus (the bastard who killed his last three wives and has unspeakable things done to other individuals) happy. Beyond the impeccable romance, there’s also a greater plot at large and without taking too much away from the story, I’ll just say that the politics and scheming of these Gods does not stop just because this is set in contemporary times. If anything, the advances of technology and the likes only add to their powers. Zeus is terrifying enough in the ancient mythology, but in here, he’s downright omnipotent, it seems. Not to mention that the rivalry between Hades and him left me breathless at times. There’s also an amazing cast of secondary characters that any mythology fan will love (Hermes is a personal favourite) and they added so much to this well fleshed-out story. I loved the glimpses we’ve gotten at the other people who are vying for a seat at the table (or, like Demeter, will do anything to keep theirs and advance their ambitions) and I cannot wait to see where this series will take us next. Hades has spent his life in the shadows, and he has no intention of stepping into the light. But when he finds that Persephone can offer a little slice of the revenge he’s spent years craving, it’s all the excuse he needs to help her—for a price. Yet every breathless night spent tangled together has given Hades a taste for Persephone, and he’ll go to war with Olympus itself to keep her close… Book Details I give myself to you, O city. I want to be one of them. A neon light, blaring outwards, outwards, outwards forever. Let me light the world. Let me show them how it's done. Charon Ariti has been Hades's right-hand man for years. He's given everything to the lower city, but now he's ready to take something for himself. He's only too happy to give Eurydice a special kind of education...but is her heart really free enough to be claimed?
