This wasn’t what I was expecting it to be. It’s also a little racy. The beginning of the book does mention that there are themes of physical and mental abuse, sexual trauma, and toxic relationships.

Lore Olympus proved to be a delightful and swift read. The characters were enjoyable, and I intend to continue with the rest of the series. It serves as a g eat go-to "just for fun" book, offering a light read between more intense ones.
