the art style, expressions and colors were absolute perfection and extremely immersive.
not sure how much i liked the contemporary setting and characters though. the author and i seem to have very different ideas of how the greek gods and goddesses would act and how their personalities would be. that put me off quite a bit. just a personal problem though.

I love greek mythology, I love Hades and Persephone and I love graphic novels so I already knew before starting to read this that I would like it.
What I did not know though was that this graphic novel is portraying a lot of heavy topics and that caught me of guard. Especially the rape scene was a lot. But just generally I would not recommend this to everyone for that reason. I do think it was all handled really well and respectfully.
Please do look at the trigger warnings though! Since it is visually portrayed I think it can be especially triggering.

I really enjoyed reading this book though. The drawing style is gorgeous and I felt really immersed in the story. There is great attention to detail and that helps with the main problem I have with graphic novels (them feeling too short and the characters not being flashed out enough).

I am definitely reading the second book as well and I'm really excited for it too. The only reason this isn't a 5 star read for me is that it made me feel bad because of all the darker themes. It is really close though and I might give it 5 stars after a reread in the future.

It’s a great modern twist on the story of Persephone and Hades! Love the art style and the diverse cast of characters that represent different identities. I also appreciate how the author approached some of the difficult topics in the storyline.
