This books deals with serious issues, that need to be addressed more. There are very dark themes, be warned some of theme deals with generational trauma, child abuse and sexual assault. I loved watching the art grow as the story did

Technically I read the webtoon before this was published, but this is easy way to mark as read.

The colour palette and illustration style of this book is amazing. A modern retelling of the Greek myths/gods - Hades and Persephone in particular. There are lots of problematic relationships and topics within Greek myths so be wary - the book comes with a reader warning so use caution and self care before reading. As someone who has toxic past relationships I found this manageable and the way the story is told so far is light on detail with these topics. However did struggle close to the end with coersion and assault.
