I really liked this one! It’s kind of like a soap opera, but it’s Greek mythology. I really, really wish someone would punch Apollo in the face for being an absolute creep. But that’s really my only complaint about this book. I loved the drama and I adore Persephone to no end! Lore Olympus vol 2 is getting a four stars from me.

I’ve already read this on WebToon but really want all the hard copies since they’re so gorgeous. Finished in one sitting!!! Love this collection.

I have not read the paper copy of this story, so I do not know where Volume Two ends. Anyways, I DID just re-read most of the story & read the rest that hadn’t come out when I was originally reading it. Therefore, I’ve read it in its entirety as to what is out on Webtoon as of 8/3/22, which is Ep. 206 (with using one fastpass to complete Season 2), and I alum in complete and utter awe with Rachel Smythe as I always have been. This story has made me cackle, swoon, fume, and sob too many times to count within the past 24 hours of reading the entire thing. The way that the characters are developed is SO amazing, especially for what originally started out as a little Webtoon. The characters you love, you love wholeheartedly, and those you hate, it’s the same, but there are backstories and psychological reasons and details and so many amazing things that Rachel has done in order to make us see these characters and understand them more. My heart breaks for so many reasons because of this story, and Persephone is so extremely strong. Everything in this story is so well-balanced and well-done, between the romance and the heartache/slow burn and the complications of it all, all the trauma and having to work to move on after that, mental health problems and toxic relationships and therapy and healing to  looking at all of Hades’ dogs and just going ‘aww’. I absolutely adore the relationship between Kore & Hades and the author and how she’s conveyed such a magnificent, touching, heartbreakingly beautiful story.
