I know this book has a large following. And I understand why. The artwork is amazing. I would read anything this author chooses to write and draw. There are so many books about Hades Persephone and Greek myth in general right now. And while I did like this story, and Hades Persephone is one of my favorite stories,  I found the story hard to follow. There are trigger warnings in the beginning, which are helpful, but there’s something I dislike about this book. It left me feeling like I do almost every time I read Hades and Persephone telling. It’s not a bad feeling. It’s not a good feeling it’s just ahhhhuggggg. I did like this book. I just have not decided if I want to read any more.
