This was a really good book! I picked this one up first, not realizing it was third in the series, but I do hope to go and read the others. There are some plot spoilers about those books (beyond the obvious one of the couple gets together and stays together).
I did hit a wall with it around the 60% mark. I saw the signs of everything falling apart and I just didn't want to read it. BUTinstead of the trope of everything falls apart and the female MC realizes the male MC is her true love and they start over from scratch, they actually were able to come out on top and NOTHING fell apart. It ended up being truly epic and wonderful.

Moderate: Emotional abuse
Minor: Physical abuse
Emotional abuse: what Zeus put hera through
Physical abuse: in a previous book, Zeus assaulted Persephone, and that is alluded to
