‘”You’re not just run-of-the-mill-sad.” “You’re melancholic. I AM HAPPY!!!I’M THE FRIGGIN’ GODDESS OF SPRING.”’

In the second volume of the enchanting graphic novel "Lore Olympus," we continue to follow the captivating adventures of Hades and Persephone. As Persephone grapples with the aftermath of past events, she navigates the complexities of school life and embarks on a new internship.

After having enjoyed the cotton candy artwork of the first printed volume of this original WebToon a few months ago, I was eagerly to see how the story progressed. With high hopes, I pre-ordered the second installment, and upon receiving my copy last week, I was pleasantly surprised to find it surpassed my expectations.

While the first volume left me with a lingering sense that it was aimed at a younger audience, dampening my initial enthusiasm slightly, the second volume felt like a significant improvement. The characters showed more depth and development, and the story unfolded with a delightful mix of humor, sweetness, and emotional depth. Although still a quick read, this installment left me eagerly awaiting the arrival of volume three.

For fans of graphic novels and Greek mythology, "Lore Olympus" is a charming addition to your collection. However, I advise potential readers to check for trigger warnings before diving in.
