The illustrations are beautiful, and I really enjoyed the storyline. The use of colors and light adds to the story.

Really gorgeous graphic novel about the Greek gods. It's not gonna change your life, but it is kinda lovely and the characters are ace. 3.5 stars.

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.
