This is technically a reread as I'm up to date with this series on Webtoons, but it doesn't matter because I loved the story there and I love it in physical form too! I am so happy to have this in not only hardback (one of the few times I wanted it in hardback) but with a bonus chapter as well. Well you bet I read all of this in one sitting. This volume covers the first 25 chapters of the comic.

I really enjoyed reading it from the beginning again. Being up to date with the comic on webtoons I have forgotten some of the little things from the beginning and seeing it all again has me falling in love with the characters once more. It is so different to see how they are before all the character development and plotlines have really taken root. I cannot wait to see it all fold out again in the following volumes.

If you love the Hades and Persephone's love story, other pieces of Greek mythology, and a setting that is modern and sometimes ancient Greek, you will love this story. I highly recommend this series.
