Lore Olympus, Season 1

TW: rape, sexual abuse, domestic violence, toxic relationships

Ok. I don't get the hype with this book? It's problematic.

A 2000 year old God (and don't get me wrong in Greek Mythology Hades is one of my favourite Gods) being involved with a 19(!) year old Persephone. It's creepy in my opinion.

The story itself lacks depth. Yes, you can tell the author did quite some research at points, but the execution of the story was bad. It was very repetitive. It sometimes felt like the story was going forward only for it to go backward again to the first point. Multiple pov's which means lots of episodes are repeated. It bored the shit out of me.

I did really appreciate the author for weaving in the sexual abuse and putting a trigger warning on episodes where it's obviously happening. I still think the entire book should have a trigger warning, but that's a different case. The episodes with trigger warnings were the best this author has made: they were full of raw emotion and depth.

The artwork is BEAUTIFUL. I loved the artwork so much. I love that the author uses different colours for a lot of characters and I really like that Hades' and Persephone's colours are opposite of each other (blue-pink).

I am contemplating if I should continue with season 2. I'm still not sure. I don't know if I can handle more repetitive scenes D:
