Such a slow burn for Persephone and Hades! It felt like they barely had any time together in this volume and I want more!

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.

There is more introductions to new characters, and this volume is more focused on respecting boundaries and standing up for them.

Be prepared for depictions of post-traumatic stress disorder, taking advantage of one’s ignorance to make a sexual advance on them, confronting an abuser, and lots of attacks with overgrowth.

Beautiful gorgeous artwork like the other three Lore Olympus books. The representations of the different gods and goddesses is lovable and so creative. A fun and lighthearted read for the most part. Be warned it does show a toxic relationship/dysfunctional.
