A goddess beginning her time as an eternal maiden and the king of the underworld have a complicated relationship and they’ve just met, what’s going to happen next? Oh, and things aren’t what they seem. Lore Olympus Volume Three by Rachel Smythe finds the two protagonists once again finding themselves together this time thanks to the machinations of Hera whose plans of everyone else including Persephone and Hades.

Covering episodes #50-75 of the webcomic finds Hades and Persephone combatting the gossip by different means, mainly by doing things that are toxic to themselves or hiding away from the truth as well as staying away from one another. However, when Hera selects Persephone as Olympus’ representative for an intern exchange program with the Underworld, things once again are complicated between the two protagonists. Yet Smythe begins branching out the story with subplots featuring Eros, Minthe, and planting the seeds for others as the series while slowly pulling away layers of the protagonists’ stories including a mysterious event in the past. The art’s quality is excellent and Smythe shaping of the story is engaging, dominated by character-driven narrative but with a mix of worldbuilding and humor.

Lore Olympus Volume Three by Rachel Smythe continues the quality storytelling that she had established earlier and that the story is about to expand in a natural way that makes the reader want to know what is going to happen next. ( )

Although I absolutely loved this installment, I think this is the first time reading the book form of Lore Olympus where I felt like reading the online comic was a better experience. I am a fast-passer so I am all caught up beyond the print volumes, and I purchased the volumes bc I prefer print to a computer screen . . . but I think the online panels are a better experience. It makes sense since the comic is optimized to be viewed within the WebToon's app/website. Anyway - if you have never read Lore Olympus online and enjoyed the first two books, I absolutely recommend Volume Three! And I'll be buying all the volumes I'm just noticing the flow has changed.

CWs: Persephone experiences PTSD from her SA, she speaks about her feelings in regard to it. ( )

"Lore" continues to keep me wrapped around its little finger and keep me wanting more and more! Sometimes the conversations feel a touch repetitive, but each time it builds closer and closer to answers and resolutions so lowkey that's just fine with me. :P ( )

I think the design and pictures in this book is just stunning. This book also was just super compeling. I loved how the consequnces of book 1 and the assult that occured kept hacing consquences as the sereies went one. It was very quick read and i am just really fond of the characters and excited to to be caught up on this series!! ( )
