This volume definitely had gotten me very teary for Hades and felt super proud for Persephone because she finally stood up for herself!
In this volume, we follow a few key highlights :-
1) Ares and Persephone's relationship and how he came to know Persephone's real powers and talents
2) Hades as a person and how he's badly hurt
3) Hera and how she's navigating through with Zeus
4) Apollo the asshole
5) Hades and Persephone's relationship
Firstly, for the first part, we get a glimpse of Ares and his relationship with Persephone. I kind of liked how its somewhat different from the original mythology but also I liked how its rendered in here. Ares is quite the trickster but I also appreciate his gestures with Persephone and his ways in making her feel safe in some sense. Persephone is definitely still naive but we get more understanding of her powers eventho it kind of gets a bit frustrating at times.
Secondly, for Hades, oh my gosh I want to hug this man so bad. He's badly abused, physically and mentally by everyone around him especially Minthe. I hated that she used violence against him and that's one of the reasons why I loved Hades in the first place. Even if he's the God of the Underworld, he's the most misunderstood character and I hated that he has to go thru everything that he's going through. Its pretty shitty ://
Hera's part in the webtoon is finally getting more recognition. I liked that she stood up for herself and not take any of Zeus's bullshit. Its pretty annoying actually for her to just accept whatever Zeus did so when she just stood up for herself? We stan a queen like that.
Apollo deserved what's coming to him. Oh my god he was insufferable in here and i lowkey wanted to smack him. But I love that Persephone FINALLY stood up to her perpetrator!!!! Good lord that scene was satisfying as heck~!!
Finally, Hades and persephone. Lowkey, I kind of wished that they get together already ://///// I lowkey want them to be disgustinly happy because :////// AFHHH. I can't wait for the next volume for reals.
Of a story of hope , love and finding yourself. I can't wait to see how this series unfolds.
