Thank you to Andrews McMeel and Edelweiss for the ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Judging by some of less than favorable reviews, I imagine they've not picked up manga before or even heard of the likes of Tapas and Webtoon... It's not supposed to be that serious lol.
The whole point of the first chapters/novel/installment is usually to establish 3 things: the protagonist, the setting, and the potential love interest(s). This first installment did just that and also managed some decent world-building, gorgeous artwork, and characters I already want to know more about. What I love in particular is my apathy towards the romance; if it happens, cool, but if it didn't, I probably wouldn't mind or even miss it. I really like Iris as a MC and her personal history with the gods; I'm so intrigued to see how everything will play out with Artemis, especially. And Shira!! God love her (pun only kind of intended), I adore women that want to punch gods in the face lmao.
Needless to say, I'll definitely be picking up the next one! 4.25 out of 5 stars.
