I was a bit doubtful about Lore Olympus as a retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth - mainly because I have been reading a lot of retellings, but most of those were 'serious'. I was worried about the vibe of this series, as it seemed quite child-like. But it is honestly so much fun (!!) - and definitely not child-like in terms of target audience. The deities are the perfect amount of childish and dramatic, the personalities and drawings fit very well. On to volume 2!

It’s a great modern twist on the story of Persephone and Hades! Love the art style and the diverse cast of characters that represent different identities. I also appreciate how the author approached some of the difficult topics in the storyline.
