Lore Olympus: Volume Two

Product Information

This is when her life changes and she is unprepared for all that lies ahead her naivety leads her to deal with life in a way she’s not ready for. Persephone is young and beautiful as well as intelligent and very sheltered with a domineering mother who believes she knows best but in reality doesn’t know her daughter at all she’s not a child but a young woman yearning for more but incredibly codependent on her mother.

She deals with rumors about her floating around, and a major story arc is a tabloid paper accusing her of sleeping her way into the Royal Family, so theres a lot of drama to be had here. Rachel Smythe has done an excellent job retelling the tale of Hades and Persephone minus the classic troubling abduction and incarceration, etc. Liv Albert, author of Greek Mythology: The Gods, Goddesses, and Heroes Handbook and creator of Let's Talk About Myths, Baby!I'm even more excited to get to know more about Hade's past and the route his feelings will take now that the girl of his dreams is his employee. This full-color edition of Smythe's original Eisner-nominated webcomic Lore Olympus features a brand-new, exclusive short story, and brings Greek mythology into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel. Ci sono sicuramente molte problematiche da affrontare e situazioni da sistemare ma la narrazione risulta interessante e scorrevole. It's just amazing how Zeus's wild affairs were so on point, and Hera being Hera, putting a fair fight every step of the way.

This left a bad taste in my mouth and even though being 19 makes you a legal adult this felt grimy and like the author was trying to hyper-infantilize Persephone.

A sweepingly romantic story that offers new meaning with each and every rereading, Rachel Smythe's Lore Olympus perfectly balances humor and tragedy, heartbreak and desire. I also enjoy Persephone’s character a lot, being the young college girl who just needs to believe in herself despite knowing she is very booksmart.
