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.

It was fun to reread this after so long - originally read online as a webcomic. 
Overall, I’m still liking Smythe’s art style and how she conveys things with colors, style, etc. And I appreciate especially how Hades is processing his feelings towards Persephone and even states that he doesn’t feel like love is possible at this point with how little he knows about her.
