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!

This books deals with serious issues, that need to be addressed more. There are very dark themes, be warned some of theme deals with generational trauma, child abuse and sexual assault. I loved watching the art grow as the story did

It was fun to come back and reread this in book form after originally reading it online. 

I had forgotten how early on certain events happened. And I’ll be interested to see how well I remember things as I continue reading the physical versions of Lore Olympus. 

I do love the art style as well.

The art is beautiful. I like the palette and art style. I don't like how over-exaggerated the proportions of the female characters are and interesting how the gods all walk on the ball of their feet. Also, Demeter, Persephone’s mom, is Hera's sister, not friend.

I like that the elements of Greek mythology (the amount of sexual content and sexual assault and sly behaviour) is illustrated and addressed here rather than brushed off.
