I feel like this series is the epitome of the slow burn between Hades and Persephone. We get a bit more background from Persephone in this one, and it does make me interested in seeing where it goes next. Especially with that sort of cliffhanger at the end.

Though it's hard to keep all of the characters straight all the time (there's a lot in Greek mythology, honestly), most of the time it's easy to follow what's going on. My favorite thing about this series remains the art. Smythe's art style is so interesting, colorful, and engaging. I will definitely keep reading it just for that.
