(My review is for the series as a whole.) 

The world building, the storytelling, how Smythe deals with trauma and the characters healing 👏🏾 

I started reading in 2020 so it’s hard to sum up something that’s been running for so long but my favorite parts:

• Persephone’s arc; gaining confidence in herself, owning her mistakes, healing from her past, growing into a brave woman and (sometimes wrath-filled) queen. 
• Their relationship; the pining and slow burn with a big payoff.  (The age gap is uncomfortable, she’s 19 vs he’s like as old as time but the characters address it and it’s fantasy so you let it slide). There’s a lot of trust, respect and care in their relationship and it’s nice to see it grow. 
• All the artwork is really pretty!  
• Apollo and Kronos getting exactly what they deserve as terrible, violent beings. 

I’d read it again in a heartbeat and wish I could start it over. 

Very well done and it’s bittersweet to see it end.

I can't believe this Webtoon has come to an end. It was my first ever Webtoon and I loved it so much. I would wait every Sunday for new episodes. Hades and Persephone are my everything. I love them so much. I'm going to miss them so much. 🥺
