Dust off your Greek mythology text book because you’re going to need to brush up on everything you’ve forgotten from school. (Okay. Maybe a quick google search will do just fine.) But it will be 100% worth it to refresh your memory for this gorgeous and heartbreaking story.
These are not intended for children, or even young teens. The content is mature and upsetting (please see content warnings), but because the illustrations are so stunningly beautiful I can see why kids who love graphic novels and comics would want to read these.
I cannot wait to read volume two.

Be aware that there are moments of disassociation, overbearing mothers, drugging alcoholic beverages, and stripping.monarchgirl's review against another edition

maybe it's greek mythology, maybe i don't know enough of it, or maybe it's maybelline but i'm not sure why Psyche and her family are so brown??? for context, i'm Black, and i love me some inclusion and diversity. but here, it feels like unnecessary inclusion of brown-skinned characters– unless all humans are brown in this retelling of greek mythology?? Rachel Smythe, maybe you can tell me why you chose (a lovely, rich shade of) brown for the humans, bc it feels tokenizing 😬

Random things: the pages feel nice and smooth/shiny, however, I wish there were page numbers so I could track them.
