The art is gorgeous and different from what I usually read in graphic novels so it just added more to my excitement. If this is middle grade, then I apologize because I thought it was an adult story, so my expectations might have been off a bit. Lore Olympus es una de las novelas gráficas o Webtoons, como quieran llamarle, más adictivas que he leído en mi vida.

And I was not disappointed, it’s fantastic quality, the art work translates beautifully into the book and the story line is second to none. Lore Olympus is a modern spin on the original tale of Hades kidnapping Persephone to be his wife (doesn't happen like that in this version obviously, it's 2021 people).With vivid, irresistible art and storytelling that would make even the Muses swoon, this modern myth deftly tackles the darkness of the ancient stories while never losing its brilliant light. The Gods get a Kardashian type makeover, the characters are all rich, entitled and vapid for the most part. Though I was dubious about how it’s look in book form and read about the issues people in the US were having with their copies (upside down books, misprints and broken spines) mine arrived perfectly and is absolutely gorgeous. Upon hearing this, Aphrodite gets Persephone very drunk and puts her in the back of Hades' car, to teach her a lesson for "smiting the goddess of beauty. Now Persephone must navigate the confusing politics and relationships that rule Olympus, while also figuring out her own place - and her own power.

This dazzling interpretation of the classic Greek myths is as charming as it is provocative, and as witty as it is startlingly romantic. Now I'm sad that Volume One is over, I have no idea when Volume Two is coming out (please be soon, please be soon), and I'm thinking I'm going to probably finally cave and just start reading it as a webtoon because there's no way I can wait for the next volume bind-up. I do want to point out that the drawings for all the female characters are overly and unnecessarily sexualized, which truly annoyed me and even made me a little uncomfortable. And because I trust her reviews and do like the retelling of what initially is a pretty chilling Greek myth (the irony of making it a love story must have the Greek gods turning in their graves and as a woman, there is some pleasure I take in that) is always a curiosity to me.It's got chubby art, a nice color palette, and an easily digested storyline that updates and retells the Hades/Persephone story in a SQUEE kind of way.

Apollo: Someone kill him already 😠🔪 he's such a piece of shit and how the hell he fucking did that to my sweet Persephone 😠😤🔪🔪 Die Die Die! Eu simplesmente amo essa história, já acompanho ela no WEBTOON a anos e quando saiu o livro físico não poderia perder a oportunidade. Se você pensa em comprar mas não sabe se vai gostar, é só procurar no WEBTOON e ler por lá mesmo, se você gostar, aproveita e leva.I don't understand how that happened because I read a lot of comics and graphic novels and I'd never even heard of this until the nomination. Experience the propulsive love story of two Greek gods—Hades and Persephone—brought to life with lavish artwork and an irresistible contemporary voice. I am a sucker for mythology retellings and this is a great one with Hades and Persephone beginning a romance against all odds. Again, this may be due to the fact that this has been miscategorized as something someone who enjoys regular comics would want to read. Nothing additional has been announced yet, but keep checking back here for the latest official news.
