This book confirms my observation that Kenyon might be furious with Greek gods. There was never a god under this pantheon that I could remember that is good natured. Apollo, who cursed his own people. Artemis, who is the creator of dark hunters (that she didn’t really care about). Demigods like Stryker, who led the daimons. Satara, who will do anything to destroy her aunt. And now Zeus who has no mercy with the dream hunters. Hahahaha I find this “theory” very hilarious. If you find anyone from their pantheon that was described as nice and understanding please let me know.

I love Sherrilyn Kenyon’s take on the Hades/Persephone relationship. While normally, the story usually is told in a way that Persephone hates Hades and is forced to be with him, this one is very romantic.

JUST TO SHARE, I got a very cool quote on this book. I used this for my New Year 2010 post:

“To those who know and love me, I wish you well. All the rest may go to hell.”

Totally expressed how I view the world for 2010.!

For me it’s more of a refresher book. Of course from the hot revelations in the previous books. It is nice to have a breather once in a while.
Even though we could not classify ‘upon midnight clear’ as a Class A favorite book, there are still good parts of the story. Like the encounter with Hades and Persephone. It’s always enriching to find examples how genuine love is so rewarding. Because of this phrase, this simple line, “SHE DOESN’T LIKE TO BE ALONE.” That tells the cold hard fact that no one wants to be alone. That no one deserves to be alone! They were given a shot to be with the one they love.
