Minthe: I hate her that's all and I know she's going to behave like a bitch in the upcoming storyline 😠 Persephone, the goddess of spring, was raised by her mother, Demeter in the mortal realm. Persephone is allowed to live in the glamorous world of Olympus after she promises to train as a sacred virgin. When Artemis, her roommate takes her to a wild party she meets Hades, the charming god of the Underworld and she feels a spark with him. Persephone must learn the relationships and politics in Olympus as well as discover her own place and power. There’s dating, exchanging of texts, social parties, materialism, sexual tension. (Greek gods, duh) This is a refreshingly modern and surprisingly poignant take on the Hades and Persephone myth. Not only does Rachel Smythe's talent as an illustrator shine in Lore Olympus but also her skill with weaving a steamy, often laugh-out-loud funny, and emotional retelling." -Jennifer L. Armentrout, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of From Blood and AshBefore we jump into the review, it is important for readers to know the difference between the Lore Olympus books and the Webtoon. I have tried to review this a couple of times but obviously, as you can see, the plot is very fast-moving and dense and it's hard to break it down unless it's in smaller chunks. the art in this is just my favorite ever. i rly don't think i'd love the webtoon as much if it weren't for the unique style and colors. there were panels that i'd straight up just buy as wall art An inspired, sweet, and thoroughly modern reimagining of Hades and Persephone’s tale. Its cast is memorable, and its central relationship absorbing and spellbinding.” —Aliette de Bodard, award-winning author of Fireheart Tiger It’s easy to see why the internet has fallen in love with Lore Olympus. This dazzling interpretation of the classic Greek myths is as charming as it is provocative, and as witty as it is startlingly romantic. Prepare to be swept away!” —Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lunar Chronicles

This edition of Smythe’s original Eisner-winning webcomic Lore Olympus bringsGreek mythologyinto the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel. Persephone feels equally ostracized as her classmates shun her for her connection to Hades, and she can find no refuge at home, with Apollo constantly dropping by unannounced and pushing his unwelcome advances. And on top of it all, the wrathful god of war, Ares, has returned to Olympus to dredge up his sordid history with the goddess of spring, threatening to surface Persephone’s dark and mysterious past and ruin her tenuous position in the land of the gods.

Hi, I’m Sonia!

Hands down, the art. Nothing like you’ve seen before. It looks magical and it should as it is a retelling of the Greek Gods. Besides the art, the modern plot and fun characters make it popular. It's easy to see why the internet has fallen in love with Lore Olympus. This dazzling interpretation of the classic Greek myths is as charming as it is provocative, and as witty as it is startlingly romantic. Prepare to be swept away! Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lunar Chronicles Witness what the gods do after dark in the third volume of a stylish and contemporary reimagining of one of the best-known stories in Greek mythology, featuring a brand-new, exclusive short storyfrom creator Rachel Smythe. Chaos reigns in Olympus as Zeus publicly declares Persephone a traitor and issues a warrant for her arrest. But Hades defies his brother’s decree, sheltering Persephone in the Underworld—and as the pair spend more time together, they are able to speak openly about their pasts. The goddess of spring admits the truth behind the bloody secret that led to Zeus’s ire, and the king of the Underworld shares the trauma he suffered at the hands of his power-hungry father, Kronos. I like how each god has its own colour – it is easier to remember the characters that way (eg: yellow – Hera, blue – Hades, pink – Persephone, dark purple – Artemis and Apollo who are siblings, etc)
