I loved seeing the story continue! The artwork and style are still unique and amazingly vibrant. We also get more depth in both Persephone and Hades' characters, and I felt for Minthe. She still isn't a favorite based on personality, but she became more sympathetic. Hera did as well, since she came in with a plan to get the central romantic pair together.

I do wish we got more plot though on some pages. Some panels did beautiful storytelling without dialogue, but I wanted to see more character dynamics via dialogue. Also, I know Apollo is meant to be unlikable in this story, but none of his mythology is mentioned. He has past relationships that could have been mentioned. Maybe in the next volume?
