10% was probably not enough for me to truly figure out if i'd like it or not, so i might revisit this one day, but i started this such a long time ago, didn't particularly like it, and then just never picked it up again. i also don't feel like trying again in the foreseeable future.

A little underwhelming, this is exactly what I thought it was im hoping the series gets better. Im clearly not the target audience but I feel like there’s plot leaps and some random feeling moments, plus rather than allowing the audience to allow suspension of disbelief about myth vs reality they flat out say that like hades wife leaving the underworld is the cause of seasons? I know it’s minor but that rubbed me the wrong way

Darf ich vorstellen: meine altes/neues Lieblingsbuch! Alt, weil Percys erstes Abenteuer (oder eigentlich die ganze Reihe) seit 10 Jahren auf Platz 1 meiner absoluten Buchlieblinge steht. Und neu, weil es jetzt dieses Meisterwerk mit fantastischen Zeichnungen gibt! Wer genau hinschaut, erkennt den Zeichenstil vielleicht schon von den Covern der Reihe wieder, die ja auch schon ziemlich schick waren. Doch mit diesem Illustrationsband hat sich John Rocco noch einmal selbst übertroffen! Die Detailgenauigkeit und akribische Umsetzung der Handlung hat mich total beeindruckt und erweckt die Geschichte auf atemberaubende Weise zum Leben.
DIES war definitiv mein bestes Jahreshighlight 2019!
Oder mit anderen Worten: hiermit gibt es eine neue Möglichkeit, einen Fan sehr, sehr glücklich zu machen!
