#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Witness what the gods do after dark in the second volume of a stylish and contemporary reimagining of one of the best-known stories in Greek mythology, featuring a brand-new, exclusive short story from creator Rachel Smythe. “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.”—Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lunar Chronicles Persephone was ready to start a new life when she left the mortal realm for Olympus. However, she quickly discovered the dark side of her glamorous new home—from the relatively minor gossip threatening her reputation to a realm-shattering violation of her safety by the conceited Apollo—and she’s struggling to find her footing in the fast-moving realm of the gods. Hades is also off-balance, fighting against his burgeoning feelings for the young goddess of spring while maintaining his lonely rule of the Underworld. As the pair are drawn ever closer, they must untangle the twisted webs of their past and present to build toward a new future. This edition of Smythe’s original Eisner-winning webcomic Lore Olympus brings Greek mythology into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel. This volume collects episodes 26–49 of the #1 WEBTOON comic Lore Olympus.

ok so listen, i picked this up from the KIDS SECTION in my local store...
I went in to buy a graphic novel because i needed something light and fast to read and this was the only graphic novel there so i bought it without reading what it was about.
It was in the kids section and it has a cover that looks like it belongs to a middle grade book so i went into this book thinking it would be cute and fun...
first thing i saw when i opened this book was a trigger warning for adult stuff.. i was confused but ok.
and then the nudity hit.
so THAT was a rollercoaster of confusion.
anyyyyyways, it was a fun read and i love the art style and i'm actually excited to see what happens next :))))
i'm not well versed in greek mythology, but this was still very enjoyable, very quick, ended very strong, and i'm excited to keep going.
The colour palette is garish and the story really doesn't flow (honestly, I know the myth but I'm confused about what's going on). Don't understand why this is popular.
