Lore Olympus: Volume One

Gorgeous book. Love this so much. I finished this on webtoons but had to have the physical copy. Most authors sell their books in one go abd it's just too expensive to get. I don't have lots of extra money but my hubby surprised me with this today. I'm really grateful & excited for this.The book itself is gorgeous. Beautiful colors and thick pages I love.Looking forward to reading it all over again. I hope to get a new shelf to put all of these on. Very proud if thus. Ty again for selling these in affordable chunks. I really appreciate it.

Love the series and the quality of the books doesn’t disappoint! Must buy if you love romance and Greek mythology!

As an avid romance lover, I LIVE for the happily ever after. I want to laugh, cry, and feel all the things right along with the characters. 😂😭😍 After another long bout with depression, reading and writing had lost its luster these past few months.That is until this story came into my life...I discovered the Webtoon of Lore Olympus through a random Tiktok on Hades and Persephone. I knew nothing of Greek mythology nor the wild story of Persephone's kidnapping. Not only has this graphic novel inspired a thirst for knowledge, it brought real joy back to reading again for me.The enchanting artwork of Lore Olympus flows flawlessly from page to page as the storytelling weaves an intricate web of intrigue. It doesn't shy away from the hard subjects (sexual assault, etc.), but handles them as well as the victims with grace and dignity. It's hard to strike a delicate balance between the beauty of love with the ugliness of life, but this book does it and does it well.Drawing from Greek mythos, LO brings a fresh look at age-old stories and breathes life into them again with modern twists and turns to engage you even further. Persephone and her youthful naivety makes you want to put bubble wrap around her and protect her from the meanies who threaten to destroy her beautiful innocence. And my boy Hades? He's the stuff age-gap romance heroes are made of ☺ Several of my favorite romance tropes are explored within the LO world and its supporting cast. Get ready to fall head over heads in love with Eros, Hermes, and Hera who add splendor and their own special blend of spice to the mix.I'm not one to buy a lot of physical book copies, but I love this story so much, I went ahead and purchased the hardback cover to start my collection. In addition to eagerly anticipating each new weekly episode of LO on Webtoon (9pm EST every Saturday for those interested 😏), I'll be chomping at the bit to get all of the hardcovers in my hands and relive all the LO feelgoods once more. 💖💙Although this is only one volume of the story, it's a perfect foray into the world of LO for newcomers to get acquainted with the spellbinding worlds of Olympus and the Underworld as well as their variable Who's Who lists. Hit that One-Click button and prepare to marvel at this gorgeously illustrated tale of first love, broken trust, and the rise of a new queen... 👑PS If you are a LO lover, the bonus chapter is worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY of this price! ***heart gushing still***

I’ve been a fan of this webcomic since it’s beginnings on WebToon. The quality of the hardcover has a smooth and beautiful touch and the story has an entertaining twist on mythology and classic Greek gods. Not to mention the GORGEOUS imagery! 🤩 However, there is some profanity and sexual themes in this book and I’d recommend this to readers 17+ years old. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves drama, art, romance, and lewd stories.

I love lore, I read it on webtoons for years and it's just nice to have the books. Not only as trophies but also so I can go back and re read without needing a daily pass on webtoon! 🤣☠️

This book is honestly beautiful I read this when it was just a comic and loved it so I decided to get a copy

Great addition to my library

Rachel Smythe’s “Lore Olympus” retells the Greek myths, though with a modern twist. Cars, phones, and other modern technology exists in the gods’ realms, but they still face all the usual foibles as a result of their nature that they might try to escape even as the fates bind them. Smythe primarily focuses on Hades and Persephone, but she also features Zeus and Hera, Artemis, Aphrodite and her son Eros, Eros’ love for the mortal woman Psyche, and more. She draws out the essences of their stories and relationships, demonstrating the universality of these myths all these thousands of years after their creation. In addition to her writing, Smythe illustrates the comics, which originally appeared on WEBTOON. She creates vibrant, individual character designs in a style that suggests motion even on a printed page, recalling such popular animation designs as in the work of Rebecca Sugar and Dana Terrace. Beyond the linework, Smythe makes beautiful use of color, splashing bold hues and carefully watercoloring individual characters, using greyscale for dramatic effect or colorless line drawings for the same. Just as Ancient Greece had complex gender relationships, the use of bi-lighting suggests the possibility for greater complexity in future installments. This hardcover collection contains episodes 1-25 of “Lore Olympus” and is great for fans and newcomers to enjoy the comics offline.
