5 stars - I loved it!

This volume collects episodes 76-102 of the Webtoon comic. 

This was another emotional volume. Persephone is still dealing with trauma but we do finally see her start to set boundaries and stand up for herself. She is no longer hiding behind others and I loved watching her put Apollo in his place. Persephone has grown so much since the first volume and I really can’t wait to see how she will grow as this series continues. 

Hades is still falling hard for Persephone but he is still with Menthe. I liked seeing him finally work on breaking his toxic behaviors and be a better person. I especially like that he is respecting the boundaries that Persephone set in place for them. This volume also continues to show how terrible Zeus is and I don’t understand why Hera stays with him. 

Trigger Warnings: physical and mental abuse, sexual trauma, toxic relationships, cheating, PTSD;
