Lore Olympus: Volume Two by Rachel Smythe
5.0
➵ 5 stars ☆
Okay, but why is this so good? I legit can't put it down, this is even better than the first book. I already knew the characters were interesting, but damn, aren't they interesting? I pretty much have them all mapped out in my head, things like who is heading directly towards my 'I'll just pretend you don't exist' list and 'you have my full interest' list. I guess it's safe to say Hera and Hades are way up their game over here, they are hands down, giving off the best kind of energy. Rachel Smythe put so much depth and uniqueness in all of them that it was hard to single them out. Let's see, maybe Apollo? I even liked Minthe 'the other woman' but Apollo cuts a nice shot to the exception rule. I hope he tones down the douchiness, cause I'd really hate to hate my girl Artemis's brother, she's such a sweetheart. The art style and storyline are put together so well, no wonder it's so addictive.
➴ Hades and Persephone: This book doesn't venture into anyone else's background, it's mostly them disecretly mooning over each other and trying to reason with all the pros and cons. We get to see more of their adorable encounters wrapped up in a nice little package. Olympus is basically a celebrity ground where godly scandals are in the air. We have Hades showing authority and questioning his choices regarding Persephone all at once; he writes that importu letter to her, spilling his heart into it, only to lock it up in his drawer. I swear if she doesn't get to read it someday. Persephone grew out her hair so she could wear his gift, and let me tell you, she hates growing out her hair.
It's just amazing how Zeus's wild affairs were so on point, and Hera being Hera, putting a fair fight every step of the way. We love a sassy queen who knows how to deal with shitty men. I don't know about Demeter, but Hera's surely doing a great job looking after Persephone. I'm even more excited to get to know more about Hade's past and the route his feelings will take now that the girl of his dreams is his employee.
