I loved this so much! For some reason I didn’t know what to expect going into Lore Olympus but it certainly wasn’t this. It was equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking and I just wanted to eat it all up. The artwork is beautiful and I loved how each character had a unique color that was all their own. And the way the art style shifted for different scenes was so fluid and blended so beautifully together. This is one of the best retellings of Greek mythology that I’ve read in a long time. It doesn’t take itself too seriously and it’s got a lot of fun, silly little scenes. But it’s also got its darker moments too. I loved Hades and Persephone and I can’t wait to see what else this series has in store! Lore Olympus vol 1 is getting five stars.
