I started reading this as a Webtoon, but I kind of forgot where I left off. It’s really great to read the story as a collected edition. I can’t wait to read more!

It was good, but I don’t think I understand mythology to get it all. I was also constantly confused at the storyline.

4.0

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!
