WOWZA
What a whirlwind. Smythe brilliantly reimagines the Hades + Persephone myth, and flawlessly interweaves the other mythologies into her retelling. Characters I've known since I became obsessed with Greek Mythology after watching Disney's Hercules.
I literally cried. My heart skipped. I couldn't get enough.
And the ART. Man on man, if for nothing else, read this for the art. It's stunning.
