I am really enjoying this series on webtoons and I loved seeing Smythe's artwork in a new format! The competition of the panels in this edition are beautiful and I enjoyed being able to fully appreciate the scenes (its hard for me to read on my phone, I have eyesight issues). However, I believe Lore Olympus definitely shines a bit more in the later seasons, and volume one felt a bit like a prologue more than a full volume. I am very glad I purchased it and I am looking forward to buying the rest of the series in this format.

This book was okay. I didn't feel invested until the last quarter. I enjoyed the dynamic between Hades, Zeus, and Poseidon—very amusing, especially the portrayal of Zeus—and the respective vibes of both Artemis and Hades, the latter of whom is more bumbling and misunderstood than anything else. Things get dark near the end, so pay attention to the trigger warnings provided at the beginning of the book. I originally read a library copy, but I liked it well enough that I bought my own copy and I'm looking forward to the next volume.
