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.

I love Artemis and I have a pet theory that she’s suffering from a crush on Persephone. That whole sequence where Persephone was needling her about “never having a crush on anyone ever in the whole history of time” and Artemis’s expression…. I ship it!
(I mean. Obviously I ship Hades and Persephone, as why would I be reading this if I didn’t. But. Ya know. Artemis having an unrequited crush would be cute and make a lot of sense for her character - especially with her hatred of Hades.)
