Every volume leaves me wanting more. I don’t know when the next volume gets released but I’ll be waiting with baited breath. Breathtaking imagery paired with a beautiful story of coming of age and learning about love.

Even more miscommunication, manipulation, and pettiness - but also more deities! I could read this forever

 I liked this volume the most so far. I enjoyed the deeper look we got into the other characters and their relationships with each other. Especially seeing the depth Hera got in this volume was really refreshing.

It was really interesting to see more insight into Hades/Minthe's toxic relationship and thank god Hades/Peresphone finally talked about boundaries. I felt like it definitely has the potential to make their relationship less unbalanced.

The talk between Peresphone and Apollo was a long time coming and I'm glad it wasn't done in a disrespectful way. My only complaint was that it ended with Persephone being saved by another man but I can kind of understand why?
