Thanks to Del Rey Books for the free copy of this book.
- LORE OLYMPUS, a retelling of the myth of Hades and Persephone set in a modern world, is by turns hilarious and dark, told with style and full of clever takes on well-known characters.
- My one small gripe with it is that I found some of the panels to be quite dark. Literally, I mean it was sometimes hard for me to see what was happening, though the story takes some dark turns as well. Aside from that, the art style is generally quite stunning.
