The colour palette and illustration style of this book is amazing. A modern retelling of the Greek myths/gods - Hades and Persephone in particular. There are lots of problematic relationships and topics within Greek myths so be wary - the book comes with a reader warning so use caution and self care before reading. As someone who has toxic past relationships I found this manageable and the way the story is told so far is light on detail with these topics. However did struggle close to the end with coersion and assault.
