SO I found this by complete chance last week, as I starkly avoided going home by wandering the library in an attempt to avoid returning home to the dread of monotony and the same four walls that the Pandemic has left me in.

What did I find by picking up this random book?

A book whose art made me feel like I was stepping into the fold of a Miyazaki film with a story that felt right at home by the side of my childhood favorites.

While darker than the standard Miyazaki film, it was still an amazing and different take on Persephone's story. I found myself enjoying almost every character Persephone interacted with within this book.

My one nitpicks as someone who grew up reading legend was how the differing Persephone's names were used. But that is easy to set aside.
