The Greek myth of Demeter and her daughter Persephone is reborn in a sprawling, high fantasy adventure inspired by the art style of Japanese anime and vintage, 1950s American comics.

Apr 01, 2020This story was absolutely charming and a welcome, fresh look at mythology. There was nothing of Ancient Greece in this tale, and I enjoyed the creation of Elesius and the interpretation of Hades (name of kingdom, not person). I was initially disappointed that this wasn't a love story in any way, but considering the original story is about forcing Persephone to stay against her will, I'm glad the author went a different route and did not include romantic entanglements. The art was beautiful and perfectly fitting of the choice of setting the author made. The only thing I didn't appreciate was the rushed ending. I kept feeling how many pages were left in the book, wondering if this was a first volume and I missed the memo. But, no, the author tied up all the action in a few pages, rather than lingering a little bit in the last few scenes and letting them fully breathe. The font used was also a little hard for me to read because certain letters were a little more script-like. Read Full Review
