A Game of Fate: 1 (Hades Saga)

Product Information

A Game of Fate is a game for two players. The aim of the game is to be the first player to achieve 10 points. The game is played on a square board with a cross in the middle. Now one was usually delighted to discover that he had a fateful mate, a queen, and while Hades was happy, he was scared too. First, what fate gives, fate can easily take. Second, Demeter. The mother-in-law goddess. Do you see her how she can’t she jump for joy?

My Thoughts: I really enjoyed the book and I loved seeing this Greek Mythology stuff from the perspective of the God. Of course, there are some weird things that I’m questioning about it–apparently all the Gods and Goddesses have horns on their heads as a sign of Divinity, which I don’t recall being the case in the original myths, and Hades specifically can turn his fingers into screw-like spikes, which sounds terrifying and a bit ridiculous? But I really enjoyed his moody, and broody personality, and can’t wait to see more of him in the near future. The goal of the game is to be the first player to score 100 points. Points are scored by rolling dice and moving around the board. The board is divided into four quadrants, each with its own set of rules. And hotter. I don’t really recall A Touch of Darkness being this hot, but I’m all for the sex fest! I mean, can you really blame Persephone? I really don’t understand how she put up a fight for so long. When Hades isn’t with Persephone, he is forced to deal with the fact that someone is trying to avoid death using a spindle that allows them to cheat the Fates. Who are furious since it resulted in their golden spears that cut life threads to break. Not only that but the souls that are killed as a result are damaged beyond repair. The Fates tell Hades that he has to put a stop to it, or they will take Persephone out of his future. Something that he does not want. Even before the two fell in love, Hades does not want to lose his potential bride because he wants a future with her. Since it’s the first time anyone has been written in his fate as a lover. He’s tried forcing that before with Minthe (something he very much regrets) and Leuce (nymph who ultimately cheats on him with Apollo). So, Hades is determined to make sure the Fates don’t take Persephone away by any means necessary including stealing the prized ox of another god. This entire storyline makes A Game of Fate feel like a completely different story, rather than an exact rewrite of A Touch of Darkness just from a different POV. They end up having a spat, and he wants to teach her a lesson so he revokes her favor that will not allow her to enter and leave the club and the underworld freely, and when they finally have the conversation, she asks him to also not walk away when he’s angry or hurt. He agrees to it, and they become closer.The goal of the game is to be the first player to score 100 points. Points are scored by rolling dice and moving around the board. The board is divided into four quadrants, each with its own set of rules. Players can also score points by completing tasks or challenges.” The game is played on a square board with a cross in the middle. Each player has four pieces, which are placed on the four corners of the board. Despite her attraction to the god, Persephone, an aspiring journalism student, is determined to expose Hades for her cruel and ruthless ways. She challenges him at every turn, even as the attraction between them flares. Still, I couldn’t put this book down, and I really want to see where this series goes from here. The next book I think is A Touch of Malice which comes out in May of this year. Overall, I would give A Game of Fate a 3.5 out of 5-star rating. It’s good and different from A Touch of Darkness where you don’t feel like you’re reading the same book twice, but there’s not a lot of character growth. Hades is pretty much the same from start to finish, he doesn’t really grow from his insecurities. Granted, I think that’s more something for him that happened in A Touch of Ruin. He’s not open about his feelings or really anything with Persephone. Not to mention, the charity project that’s his character growth moment isn’t written in a way where it feels like a character growth moment. And that could’ve been the perfect opportunity for it since it does show change. He took Persephone’s advice over how to do his bargains differently, a different want to help addicts rather than just challenging them and letting them figure out how to get better. It could’ve been more is all I’m saying, but that entire character growth moment was written like an afterthought. Whereas, for Persephone is was huge as their relationship changes and develops from there from attraction to love.

He wants to know their connection to the Triad, a group of Impious mortals who opposed the gods, demanding fairness, freewill, and other demands–and they tended to be dangerous, wanting to overthrow the Gods. The man doesn’t tell Hades anything more beyond saying that War is coming. By the time that Hades is finished with the torture of the man, it is almost noon, and he’s about to go to sleep when Minthe tells him that the girl from the evening was here demanding to see him. Hades teleports to his club, Nevernight, where he finds that one of the ogres in his employ has choked Persephone, and tells him that he will deal with him later.A Game of Fate is perfect for anyone who loves new urban interpretations of mythology and legend, steamy and fateful romance, and morally gray heroes with their secrets at heart. I can’t wait to see what happens next! In online games, the number of players that can play at once is usually determined by the game’s server capacity. For example, a game with a server capacity of 8 would allow up to 8 players to be logged in and playing at the same time. However, some games have different modes that allow for more or fewer players. For example, a game might have a 4-player co-op mode and a 6-player competitive mode.” What It’s About: Hades, the God of the Underworld, meets with Sisyphus de Ephyra to deal with him over the business empire that Sisyphus has created, one that was built on drugs and the suffering of the individuals of New Greece. Sisyphus has broken one of the most ancient rules of hospitality–the law of Xenia–by killing his competition after inviting him onto his own territory. Hades warns Sisyphus that he will pay for the trespass, and tells him that he does not have much longer to live, as after all Hades can see the future of the souls.

Each player has four pieces, which are placed on the four corners of the board. Players take turns moving one of their pieces along one of the lines on the board. The piece can only move in straight lines and can not go off the edge of the board. A game of fate is a game where your future is predetermined by the roll of a dice or the flip of a card. In some cases, your fate is determined by how well you play the game. In other cases, it is entirely up to chance.I really loved A Touch of Darkness and wondered how different the story would be from Hades’ point of view. Turns out the answer is: A LOT! And all in a good way! I loved this book. It’s bolder, darker, sexier and much more grounded in lore and mythology. The gods play a central role and each has his own personality. I couldn’t get enough! The game of Monopoly has been around for over 100 years and there is no official limit to how many turns can be taken in the game. However, most people agree that the game should last between 1-2 hours. If you are playing with friends or family, you can always agree to set a specific time limit for the game. The key is to have fun and enjoy spending time with your loved ones!”

There are some editing errors, which have been a common thing of late (paragraphs in wrong places, ” marks in wrong spots, spelling errors, etc.) that I’ve noticed in all the books I’ve read in the last month. But it was minor enough that I could overlook it, though it still took me out of the book for a moment each time. As I haven’t with the other books, I thought I’d just mention that. Hades visits Orpheus–a man that had come to him in front of Persephone, requesting to trade his life for his wife’s life. At the time Hades had disregarded his request, and Persephone argued why he couldn’t at least meet the mortal with a compromise by showing him his wife in the Underworld so that he could get closure. Hades asks Orpheus why he carries guilt with him, to which Orpheus responds that he feels guilty for living his life while the love of his life had died, and every moment that he lives, he just feels guilty knowing that she is not experiencing this with him. While Hades cannot grant Orpheus his original request, he does grant Orpheus a 24 hour stay with his wife in the Underworld.

Thanatos gives him the news that the Fates are in an uproar, because Atropos’ shears had been broken, and together they head over to Fates’ island, where the Fates tell him that they went to cut Sisyphus’ thread, only for it to be reinforced and resulting to the destruction of Atrophos’ shears. They threaten him with unravelling the thread connecting him and Persephone if he is not able to get Sisyphus, and kill him. Hades does not want that to happen, so he goes to Hephaestus and asks him to repair the shears but also to create a weapon that does not kill but forces the person to tell the truth. If a player moves their piece onto a space occupied by their opponent’s piece, then they capture that piece and remove it from the board. The game ends when one player has captured all of their opponent’s pieces, or when one player has no pieces left to move.”
