Critics Review

A refreshingly modern and surprisingly poignant take on the Hades and Persephone myth … Steamy, often laugh-out-loud funny and emotional

A refreshingly modern and surprisingly poignant take on the Hades and Persephone myth … Steamy, often laugh-out-loud funny and emotional * Jennifer L. Armentrout, # 1 New York Times bestselling author of From Blood and Ash *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, and as witty as it is startlingly romantic. Prepare to be swept away! * Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lunar Chronicles *With vivid, irresistible art and storytelling that would make even the Muses swoon, this modern myth deftly tackles the darkness of the ancient stories while never losing its brilliant light. I couldn’t devour it fast enough. * Alexandra Bracken, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lore *Sheer bliss. Rachel Smythe is a master storyteller, filling each gorgeously illustrated page with equal parts humor, heart, and joy. * Meg Cabot, author of The Princess Diaries and Abandon series *An addicting, swoony delight. This clever take on a timeless tale is destined to become a modern classic. * Adrienne Young, New York Times bestselling author of Fable and Namesake *What Scott Pilgrim did for Canadian slackers, Lore Olympus does for the Greek Pantheon, while being so beautiful that you know Aphrodite is just staring daggers in its direction. * Kieron Gillen, co-creator of The Wicked + The Divine *An addictive, romantic gem of a comic, filled with complex, lovable (and hateable) characters. The artwork is rich and dramatic, with gorgeous colors and bold linework, each panel a dreamy treat for the eyes. * Faith Erin Hicks, Eisner Award winner and New York Times bestselling cartoonist *Lore Olympus is the perfect escape. Rachel Smythes artwork is vivid and enchanting, with deeply relatable characters and a deft handling of their dark pasts. For anyone looking for a fresh take on Hades and Persephone, Lore Olympus brings us a sexy and delightful romp that captivates until the very last page. Whimsical and heartfelt! * Ashley Poston, author of Geekerella *Lore Olympus is a delicacy. Funny, dark, sexy, and lavishly illustrated, it delights on every page. I cant recommend it enough. * Kate Leth, author of Marvels Patsy Walker, A.K.A. Hellcat! *Moody, beautiful, and funny … Be transported to a gorgeous reimagining of Greek gods in a modern fantasy setting. Romance, drama, trauma, and goofs! You will not be able to put this down once you start! * Babs Tarr, professional comic artist *
