I absolutely love Persephone and Hades, they are so adorable and their interactions so sweet.
I think its amazing how she's portraying the different gods and goddess. She's flipped the script on how some are portrayed, Hera isn't some cruel goddess in this story. It's refreshing and wonderful.

They don't shy away from issues of misogyny and infidelity (which makes sense, Zeus is involved), sexual assault, body image, or power imbalance so be prepared. No matter how sweet the art looks, the story is more hard-hitting.
It was an enjoyable story and probably gains even more depth on re-read.

What I did not know though was that this graphic novel is portraying a lot of heavy topics and that caught me of guard. Especially the rape scene was a lot. But just generally I would not recommend this to everyone for that reason. I do think it was all handled really well and respectfully.
Please do look at the trigger warnings though! Since it is visually portrayed I think it can be especially triggering.
I really enjoyed reading this book though. The drawing style is gorgeous and I felt really immersed in the story. There is great attention to detail and that helps with the main problem I have with graphic novels (them feeling too short and the characters not being flashed out enough).
I am definitely reading the second book as well and I'm really excited for it too. The only reason this isn't a 5 star read for me is that it made me feel bad because of all the darker themes. It is really close though and I might give it 5 stars after a reread in the future.
