Lore Olympus: Volume One

2021 · 384 pages · Fantasy
How it reads
Lore Olympus: Volume One is fantasy (mythological romance graphic novel, specifically), and its dominant mood is romantic. The relationship is the engine of the story. The pace is moderate — neither a page-turner nor a slow burn — so it holds up whether you read it in long sittings or short ones.
It's set in an invented world, in no single period, told in the third person across several viewpoints. Its central concerns are love, power and politics and identity. In weight it's light and escapist — easy to fall into.
It opens a series. It ends on a cliffhanger, so have the next book ready. At 384 pages it's an ordinary novel's length. It's a mega-bestseller — the book everyone seems to have read.
Pick it up if…
- you're in the mood for something romantic
- you want an escape
- you like disappearing into an invented world
Maybe not if…
