This series is such an entertaining one, putting Greek mythology in a more modern setting. The art style is maybe one of my favorite things about it, with the bright colors and the overall formatting. It works well for the subject matter and brings the characters to life.

There's drama, there's romance, what more could you want in a book about Greek mythology honestly? It in itself is all about drama. Definitely will keep reading because it's just entertaining.

Volume 4 picks up right after the last with Persephone realizing that no matter that she's crushing hard on Hades, she can't act on it without sorting her own problems — being part of the Olympus rumor mill, being shunned by classmates that haven't gotten a chance to know her, and not to mention the unwanted advances of Apollo that can't or refuses to understand no.

Hades for his part, is all out of sorts. Regardless of his age, what he's feeling for Persephone is different than what he has with Minthe and he's seeing the differences more and more.

This volumes collects web episodes 76-102 so it's nice to see the same panels I read way back when in a larger format. Rachel too advantage of the printed medium to let certain panels be a full page and really draw you in with the details I missed the first time around.
