This is my second time reading Lore Olympus and it’s still just delightful as the first time. Some of the art is hard to understand what is going on but the most of it is just perfect. I love the color schemes and the way these characters are thrown into our world. It was my first retelling of Persephone and Hades and it spiraled into the obsession I have today.

Really cute and at times surprisingly heartfelt and emotional!  I'm going to have to brush up on my Greek mythology before I continue the series.
Loved the art style and vivid colors.  That is what initially drew me to the book.

I really liked this book I give it a 4.5 ⭐️ rating I think that the illustrator did an amazing job with the illustrations and I love the color theme that they chose for the book which is one of the reasons why I picked it up in the first place. I think that the story was very interesting and I can’t wait to read the second volume to see what happens in it.
