I think, in general, slower pacing really works for this story, but it's nice to finally be getting some "payoff" to things that have been brewing throughout the series so far. 

This is a good plot-heavy chunk of chapters that finally reveals interesting things that have been building up to the season's end, and IMO it's a satisfying payoff! The characters' motivations make sense and it's nice to see how even when they make bad decisions, the reasons for those bad decisions are well-rooted.

As always, the art and coloring and character modeling is completely gorgeous too.

Love these characters! Love seeing them and their relationships develop. Love this format as I feel the time of the story move easier than reading one episode a week. Even though the drawing style is a more simple streamlined style, it just helps the characters stories shine and allow their personalities, emotions, and struggles be the focus. Love Hecate and Eros and Hermes support and love for Persephone. You really just want friends like them and of course Hades around in your life!!
