A Game of Fate: 1 (Hades Saga)

Product Information

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. After he sees the car carrying Persephone disappear around the corner, Minthe tells him that Thanatos, the God of Death, has been waiting for him in the Throne Room, so Hades teleports there. 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. 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. Some use tarot cards, others use astrology, and still, others use simple chance. The most popular Fate Games are probably those based on the board game known as The Game of Life. The concept of a Fate Game is not new, however.

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.” 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. What is the Goal of the Game Take her, and I will destroy this world. Take her, and I will destroy you. Take her, and I will end us all."Hecate is far older than us, Poseidon," Hades called over his brother's screams. "We must respect our elders."

Hades, God of the Underworld, is known for his inflexible rule, luxurious night clubs, and impossible bargains. Used to control, he is not prepared to discover the Fates have chosen his future wife and Queen—Persephone, Goddess of Spring.Hades glared at the god. He should have downed a bottle before summoning the god. After a moment, he explained. “Persephone is teaching me to bake. What do I wear?” “She’s teaching you to bake?” Surprised colored Hermes’ voice. “And you’re participating? Willingly?” Hades glared. “You must really love her.” “Hermes,” Hades warned. If he had to say the god’s name one more time, he’d send him to Tartarus for the night. He seemed to get the hint and straightened. “Right. Casual, baking date.” He dashed to Hades’ closet. “Why do you only wear suits?” Hermes complained. “What do you sleep in?” “Nothing,” Hades answered. “What’s the point?” Are you finished scaring the mortal?” Hades asked. “Wait your turn,” she said. “It is my turn.” Hades gave her a meaningful look that said, remember why we came here.” 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.
