Love this series. This volume came together really well, it has beautiful, vibrant art and a nice pace to the story with lots of emotional moments. 

I love Artemis and I have a pet theory that she’s suffering from a crush on Persephone. That whole sequence where Persephone was needling her about “never having a crush on anyone ever in the whole history of time” and Artemis’s expression…. I ship it!

(I mean. Obviously I ship Hades and Persephone, as why would I be reading this if I didn’t. But. Ya know. Artemis having an unrequited crush would be cute and make a lot of sense for her character - especially with her hatred of Hades.)

I’m in love with the artistic rendering of Persephone. She’s beautiful and sassy and adorable all in one. The story is so good — and the characters in a modern world are so interesting!

I focus on the artwork as much as as—if not more than—the story but I still can’t make these volumes last more than a day or two. I devour them. 

I still find myself googling the different gods and their relations to other gods, but following the same characters for three volumes has helped.

It just keeps getting better and the art style is starting to truly advance the storyline effectively.
