Graphic Novel Review – Lore Olympus Vol 3

From Goodreads:

“It is natural for a King to be curious about his future Queen. . . .”

All of Olympus–and the Underworld–are talking about the God of the Dead and the sprightly daughter of Demeter. But despite the rumors of their romance, Hades and Persephone have plenty to navigate on their own.

Since coming to Olympus, Persephone has struggled to be the perfect maiden goddess. Her attraction to Hades has only complicated the intense burden of the gods’ expectations. And after Apollo’s assault, Persephone fears she can no longer bury the intense feelings of hurt and love that she’s worked so hard to hide.

As Persephone contemplates her future, Hades struggles with his past, falling back into toxic habits in Minthe’s easy embrace. With all the mounting pressure and expectations–of their family, friends, and enemies–both Hades and Persephone tell themselves to deny their deepest desires, but the pull between them is too tempting, too magnetic. It’s fate.

Volume three continues an amazing series again it is jam packed with just goegrous art. The colour pallete is just stunning from the dark tones and blue hews used to depict Hades and the pale pinks of Persephone the pastels of the mortal world and the bright colours of olympus are just so perfectly choosen.

I fell in love with Eros in this one. The story of him building a friendship with Persephone and how protective and feirce he is while aslo being so sweet and how he helps her handle her emotions and listens to her experiences were just beautiful scenes.

I felt this volume focused more on Perspehone and I really liked at, a similar pace to the pervious edition where it allowed us to sit with the character. I am really enjoying that. This series just really knows how to balance the art and the words perfectly.
