This one is a re-read for me too, but soooo worth re-reading!!!! We’d love to have you join!!

whoops! Totally forgot about this one this weekend! I'll try to start today if I can. Tomorrow for sure :)

Just started this, I wasn't sure how I would like the art, it is definitely unique. I thought it might kind of bother me but its not, I actually like it now that Im in the story.
Im at episode 8 and didnt really know what to expect, the disclaimer in the beginning definitely makes me think this will get intense.

Episode 17
I'm not really familiar with these stories, is the situation with Psyche part of it? Ive always been intrigued with mythology

Finished!
(view spoiler)[Wow, definitely didnt see that coming with Apollo. Also I am surprised with Hades character, he seems like just nice and kinda nerdy and not at all how I would assume the king of the underworld to be (hide spoiler)]

Sorry!! I kept falling asleep before I got to this!! Episode 7 (view spoiler)[ Persephone is sooo stinking cute!! I especially love the art of her in Hera’s coat. And Minthe is such a B!!!! She’s giving Hades low self esteem!!! (hide spoiler)]

Oh most definitely!!! That disclaimer can almost turn a person away. But it’s soooo worth it!!!

50% (view spoiler)[ oh the drama!! Poor Eros!!! I feel so bad for him. It’s like a lose lose situation. Keep Psyche locked up and safe and miserable, or let her free and see what his mother will do to her. Smh… (hide spoiler)]

Yeah! I'm assuming it gets heavier throughout the other books. But I definitely thought it was referring to the main romance

Finished (view spoiler)[ so I hate Apollo with a flipping passion… he just did that to her and took advantage of a young, sweet, innocent woman. It’s revolting. I want to just punch him inside out… sorry, that type of shit just gets me going…

Anyway, I loved the rest of the book. The art is amazing and I’m falling for Hades and Persephone together. It’s waaayyyy tooo cute!!!! Can’t wait to start the next one!!! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ right?!?! But I’m soooo loving it!!! And I love that he has glasses!!! That’s way too cute!! And the way he looks at Persephone sometimes… eeeeeee!!!! (hide spoiler)]

YEAH! I did not expect that from Appllo! Going into it I definitely expected more of that (view spoiler)[from Hades.. being the king of the underworld and all. But I'm obv glad hes not like that and routing for them! (hide spoiler)]

Do you want to continue the others? Im pretty flexible since theyre so short

Yes!!!! When do you want to start the next one?

Awesome! These are so quick I can probably get through it in a night. How about this weekend?

Sure thing!!! I can setup a thread for Friday sometime tomorrow. 😊
