Hades is such a dumb dork and I love him so much and doesn’t deserve to be treated like he’s worthless and unloveable! I just want to hug him! This series just addresses so many serious topics but in a realistic way as well as the healing process after trauma. I can appreciate the work gone into this series. Minthe is just the worst! I also like that Hades’ and Persephone’s relationship is a slow growth of a friend/crush to lovers. It is SLOW but it’s like a natural, realistic development of a romantic relationship where they’re growing as insidiously and addressing their past trauma.
