This is one of my favorites I. The series so far. I love seeing Kore find herself! And speak up for herself!

When I heard this finally released I of course had to have it. So I ran right to B&N and picked it up and of course consumed it extra quick. Of course I had a crying fit as soon as it finished because now I have to wait until October for the next one and man these are just too good to want to wait

After finishing this I really wish that Vol. 5 was already out and that there were new episodes on Webtoons because I'm so invested all over again. I just love Hades and Persephone so much. I really need more.

I shamelessly love this series that more or less amounts to a spicy soap opera starring the Greek gods in a modern, corporate world. I mean, how can you not?

This volume doesn’t push the story much but does bounce from joke to joke quite satisfyingly and continues to explore how much everyone just sort of…well sucks and fucks (each other over). There is a lot of Zeus being a terrible husband (he even admits it) and while I’m always rooting for Hades we get a lot of insight into why everyone warns Persephone away from him. This volume was worth it alone for the scene where Zeus, Poseidon and Hades disguise themselves as mortals for a “night on the town.” We also see Persephone trying to take control of her own destiny a bit more, having a lot of big decisions to make and dealing with a lot of fertility goddess issues. But I just want her and Hades to figure their shit out, c’mon guys get it together. So yea, another solid issue. Apollo continues to be a complete asshole, Hecate needs a LOT more page time, and while I’d like the plot to progress a little more at least the constant reiteration of everyone doing the wrong thing every time doesn’t get old. The art is still wonderful, with a lot of visual gags and, hey, you can see something really filthy check this

Sorry, couldn’t resist.
Anyways, Lore Olympus is so much fun and I’m not going to stop reading anytime soon.
