4.5⭐️ I won‘t lie, I have a bit of an obsession with the Hades and persephone story. So of course, I am in the middle of Lore of Olympus, but when I saw that there was another graphic novel about their story, I could not help but to pick it up. And I‘m so glad I did. I loved how this came together, and the only thing I‘m truly sad about is the fact that book 2 doesn‘t come out until September. 10 out of 10 recommend.

Viola2012 I‘ve searched for this book in like forever… Thank you ❤️❤️❤️ 18h

🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗 I'd say just as good as The Chalice of the Gods. Bringing out new character development and challenges, while still feeling like reading the original five books again.

🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗 I honestly don't know what people are talking about when they say that the Senior Year Adventures are bad. This book was amazing, with just as much fun as I remember from the first series. I loved the commentary on both being young and growing up, and I think it fits that they had both of those journeys (with Hebe and Geras) in the first book, since this trilogy is based on Percy growing up and moving into a new part of his life.

Started this one today, and I missed reading in Percy's perspective! My boy! Sucks that he has to do MORE quests after everything he's gone through, but of course Zeus would be a salty hypocrite like that.

It was cute. I really like the Hades/Persephone story. I tried really hard not to compare it to Lore Olympus (I wouldn't have liked it as much). But I enjoyed it for what it was. And the artwork was beautiful!

Also, people frequently get my name wrong, so this hit home.

The Voyage Home (Women of Troy 3), by Pat Barker (2024) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: A Trojan nurse accompanies the doomed prophetess Cassandra to her fate as Agamemnon‘s entourage returns home.

Review: In a landscape overstuffed with retellings, once again this effort from Pat Barker elevates the genre to its full potential. It was jarring not to have Briseis as our point-of-view character in this third book. Cont.

Mattsbookaday But, I was glad to see Cassandra‘s story brought to its satisfying, sad and fated end. There‘s a reason why these stories have survived for thousands of years; they reflect incredible psychological depth and complexity, and I‘m grateful for Pat Barker for going above and beyond in shining a new light on them.

Bookish Pair: For a fun recent novel that uses Euripides‘s take on this saga as a backdrop, Ferdia Lennon‘s Glorious Exploits (2024).
