Lore Olympus: Volume Two by Rachel Smythe
2.0
So far this series is making me feel a whole lotta nothing. The art is lovely and there were some cute moments but..... that's it? I don't have any urge to continue on and I'm still kinda torn about the character portrayals.
2,000-yr-old Hades was shocked to find out he was simping over a 19-yr-old but the only thing that stopped him from full-out pursuing Persephone despite that outrageous age gap is guilt over his current relationship (that he lied to Pers about) with Minthe. Kinda uncomfy if you think about it?
And trust me, I get it. Greek mythology isn't supposed to be all morally sound. But because the artist is trying to portray Hades as the vicious God of the Underworld but also a golden retriever puppy, cinnamon roll kinda boy, I'm just finding it a little dicey.
If I didn't already have volume three in my possession, I probably would have called it quits already.
