Daughter of Hades ( Cerberus book 2)
By Helen Scott
⭐️⭐️⭐️

Poppy never thought her life would get this crazy.

Sexy hellhound guards and being the future queen of the Underworld? She had been happy being a waitress and a freelance graphic designer in Chicago, hadn't she? What she was doesn't matter, that life is long gone now.

Before she can travel to the Underworld, she needs to find three judges that will preside over the souls of the dead. But who are they? Where are they? And how the hell is she supposed to find them?

As she battles agents of Hel at every turn and is confronted with mysterious new enemy Poppy is decidedly on edge. Will she find her judges in time or will her enemies get to them first?

We pick this up with Poppy searching for her 3 judges as well as getting closer with her hellhounds. It was ok it’s an easy series to read and can get a bit spicy. It was action packed too. All the things you expect from a RH. The one thing I’d like more is more depth.

Dante metaphysically takes you through the underworld, utterly incredible
Even after six centuries, Dante's Inferno is one of the most important works that needs to be read. Exploring the nine circles of hell, Dante (using his own name) speaks of being led by Virgil to the different depths of depravity of human nature. From virtuous non-Christians such as Socrates, through to lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery, where he meets Judas. It is epic in every sense, from the content to the language. Mind-blowing.

I totally agree, there are definite parallels in the book - obviously The Divine Comedy is a translation from Italian, so it's made accessible in English.

Not that different to the last 2 films
Another cash in
I was excited to hear about another Underworld film. The first was great but they have gone rapidly down hill ever since. This is slightly better than the last outing and carries on shortly after where the last one ended. However it's been basically the same story for the last few films now. Unless they can come up with something fresh it might be time to put a stake through the heart of this franchise.

Ok so the pitch for this must have been Matrix meets Underworld. It's very stylized, has some nice production. The CGI was good especially for the Vamps, the weapon and vehicle design was nice ( There is a 10 min featurette on the DVD for these, the bikes looking a cross between Tron/Akira styles and Darth Maul's speeder!) However it's sadly lacking in story, which is just bizarre and substance with a run time 75min! The ending just happens a bit too quick. Nice touches but overall not a patch on the similar films.

"When I became a film academic in the 1980s, I was allocated a class through which I discovered silent (or rather non-sync-sound) films. I had never appreciated the extraordinary beauty of this cinema and, most of all, I loved films of the very late twenties, made on the cusp of the transition—for instance, Josef von Sternberg’s Underworld and The Docks of New York. People on Sunday is an amazing film document of Berlin just before the Nazis came to power, and is also a “young modern woman” film."
