Welcome to Litsy!

This book ripped my heart out and stamped on it. Had to stop reading to my kid coz I was crying too hard. In my top 10 of 2024. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love these books so much. SUPER excited to have familiar characters join us from the heroes of Olympus series, and some new amazing ladies who I loved so much.

Not sure who is following #RiordanverseReadalong but I figured I‘d do a check in/final thoughts post

How did you enjoy or not enjoy the book? Any favourite characters or moments?

Anybody can join in!

The next book we‘ll be reading will be The Son of Neptune in February

I was a bit underwhelmed. I found the characters a bit bland and there wasn‘t any connection between them. Hoping this changes! Percy is just so hard to follow

I thoroughly enjoyed this comic. I'm not normally a comic person but I enjoy the story weaving of this mythology retelling. The artwork is amazing.

While I liked this book, I think my expectations were a little high. I enjoyed the modern world of gods & goddesses but wish more happened. Persephone, with little experience, meets Hades, there‘s a lot of lust. More in the erotica genre, if you like spice. There was some conflict between Persephone & a co-worker, as well as a difficult relationship with her mother. Unsure I‘ll continue with the series depending on the plot of the next one. 3.5/5

This is a mostly lighthearted romp through Greek mythology with a modern lens, but it doesn‘t shy away from the darker side of it, either. The politics of Olympus are still all at play here, and things are quite complicated by the end of volume 1. I thought it was fun, and sweet, and a great read. The art is darkly lovely, with a great use of colour to portray the emotions of the story.

Finally cracking this open on a cloudy Sunday afternoon. The house smells like cinnamon from my carrot cake baked oatmeal cooking, and the cat is curled up beside me. Perfect weekend day!

Great book if you are into Greek mythology- I loved it - very funny in parts too .

Reading this with my online book club, https://thereadingloft.groups.io/g/main

This is such a detailed and nuanced description of a time that was not generous or kind to women in its mythology. Pat Barker is great
