Can I give this book 10/5 for being so stunningly beautiful and so sad at the same time!?
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.
