The darling of the Olympian gods and goddesses.
The cunning trickster whose deceit knows no bounds.
Hermes, the messenger and herald of the gods, is admired by all.
Yet, there is someone that Hermes admires that he cannot have.

This is a tale of the many plots and ruses pulled by this deceitful god.
Yet, the one thing he is truly deceiving all along is his own heart.
When Hermes encounters the male mortal, Crocus, he thinks he has found a true friend,
But what he really has found is someone he wants a lifelong companionship with.

4.0 out of 5 stars fast paced and enjoyable
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2023
I thought this was a witty and snappy retelling. Although it did not deviate much from the original myths, the author definitely delivered a fresher perspective.

The darling of the Olympian gods and goddesses.
The cunning trickster whose deceit knows no bounds.
Hermes, the messenger, and herald of the gods, is admired by all.
Yet, there is someone that Hermes admires that he cannot have.

This is a tale of the many plots and ruses pulled by this deceitful god.
Yet, the one thing he is truly deceiving is his heart.
When Hermes encounters the male mortal, Crocus, he thinks he has found a true friend,
But he has found someone he wants a lifelong companionship with.

I felt like this was more his backstory than a love story. I felt like you got very little of his and Crocus's story. I wish there would have been a little more smut, but then again I think it was more of a retelling for Hermes than it was a romance. I might read Meduso just to see if I like it better. This gave me first-novel vibes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another fun installation in the Mythologay Series
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2023
This series is not to be missed if you like retelling of myths. I've really enjoyed all the stories and did like Hermes as well. This is one of the shortest in the series and we get quite a few deeds and stories of mischief that focus on Hermes. I thought this had the lightest of the romance and the least heat. It's probably a one and a half flame out of five. So if you prefer stories on the lighter end of the spicy spectrum this one is right up your alley. I will say that I thought the ending was a bit abrupt. We get quite a bit forward movement with Pandora's tale and then it came to a quick conclusion. I would've liked just a bit more at the end to not feel quick to jarred back into reality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable and informative
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2023
I have been looking forward to this one because Hermes is a mythological character I knew absolutely nothing about. It was interesting to find he was a character I totally disliked but I very much enjoyed reading about him in this story. The style of telling seemed to fit with his personality of always keeping you on your toes, never taking anything for granted and always being left a bit on the backfooted. Looking forward to more in this series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not up to expectations
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2023
I had high hopes for this book, as I really enjoyed [book:Meduso|60172088]. Unfortunately I didn’t feel that Hermes was on the same level. This felt like a disjointed history of Hermes’ life in brief, told from his perspective, without really making me care about Hermes as a character. The romance with Crocus was not particularly compelling, nor were most of Hermes’ actions. I can understand that, when telling a story from the perspective of a god, the desires and goals will be different. But with the random time jumps and confusing time line (ex: Crocus is Hermes' first kiss, but then later it says Hermes has had hundreds of years making love to mortals and other gods many times), coupled with not a whole lot of character development or relationship building, this was a miss for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, low-heat gay mythology retelling
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2023
This was my introduction to the Mythologay series, and I think it can stand alone. I enjoyed it and the idea of gay mythology retellings, and I liked the tales of Hermes and his antics. That said, it was rather tame heat-wise for me and I would have liked more steam. I might go back and read the preceding books in the series to see if there is more fire.

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Greek Mythology Book in the Books
Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2023
This is the 4th book in B.J. Irons' Greek Mythology Retellings. Although it is shorter than the others, it packs quite the punch. This story focuses on Hermes and the many myths involving him. Great read!
