I know it's the fourth volume and I know a lot of this is available on WebToon but I wait until I grab these print volumes! However, I am just realizing this is such a character-driven story, and that we are in it for the long haul with these characters. That's not a bad thing, I just was viscerally aware of it as I flipped the pages of this book. I genuinely feel so much for Persephone, as RS really illustrated so many thoughts that survivors replay in their minds here! I felt uncomfortably seen in this, and I want so badly for Persephone to *heal* but I'm simply projecting my own trauma onto her, and it's only been a few weeks so why am I rushing her journey?! I don't know! Because I want her to be okay!
Anyway, I think what I love most about these characters is that even though they are gods, they are all so human and so messy. I love how much they fumble, I love how much they let their emotions get the best of them, and I love how we have to read this story at a glacial pace so that we cannot rush past the development. Thank you RS for both making me ache with discomfort as I want everything wrapped up nicely with a bow, and for illustrating such authentic journeys.
