2013
This is actually the third book in a trilogy. Protagonist Pierce
Oliviera lives in the Underworld with boyfriend John who comes from a different
era. As well as dealing with Fates and Furies, Pierce and John face many of the
issues that 21st century young adults encounter.
The pace is fast and the characters develop well.
Each chapter is prefaced with a quote from Dante’s Inferno. By the end of the novel the
young reader will have encountered some important parts of this classic.
The reference to mythology should spark some curiosity in
the reader though they can enjoy the novel without knowing the stories behind
it.
A useful list of characters and places is found at the end but
I found I did not need to refer to it, even though I’d not read the first two
books.
The book is 343 pages
long with blocked text and printed in an adult font.
