Persephone, the spring goddess, is a newcomer to Olympus. Her mortal mother, Demeter, nurtured her, but once Persephone agrees to train as a sacred virgin, she is permitted to dwell in the gods' fast-paced, beautiful society. Her entire life changes when her roommate, Artemis, brings her to a party and introduces her to Hades, the attractive yet misunderstood king of the Underworld. Persephone must now negotiate Olympus' perplexing politics and relationships while also figuring out her own place—and power.

This book was devoured by me. I've always been fascinated by Greek mythology, and I've always thought the narrative retellings of Hades and Persephone to be the most fascinating. This graphic novel features a unique take on Greek mythology, and the author has a unique perspective on each character.

I first had conflicting views about the art style, but as I've adapted to it, it no longer bothers me as much. I was also disturbed by Persephone's oversexualization as a seventeen-year-old, but altogether, it was a fantastic read.
