This book is the hardest to read out of what is out already just because of a particular scene. It is hard to read but the visuals are done tactfully and convey more of the emotion then expose the abuse. There is something so comforting to me in reading scenes done so sensitively so I can feel un-alone in experience I have personally had. I don't know that everyone would agree, but for me it was quite touching and I felt very seen when I first read this as a webtoon. The fallout isn't handled perfectly and 

I think a good amount of the middle of this series is handled a little less interestingly or well then I would have liked to see, but overall I enjoy it a lot. I don't think I will be rating every single installment of this series. So I am going to put it here that I like this enough to re-read and the beginning gives my mushy heart joy, the end gives me joy in many ways, and the middle is all a fun ride.

I loved this series on Webtoons, but it's even better in book form! I love the story and the pictures are gorgeous!

Good continuation of the series, but I felt like there wasn’t as much action compared to the first book and there was just filler stuff that wasn’t necessarily needed. But overall I liked it.

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.
