dark emotional funny fast-paced

cute/silly. the humor wasn’t always my thing but the graphics are pretty. Plus I know it’s basic but the hades and persephone retelling always hit a certain amount.

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!

Well that’s just the cutest thing ever! It did go from light to very very dark in a snap, but it’s generally quite fluffy and cute. It’s also very much a feminist retelling, which I love. Can’t wait to read the next book!
