Review of Rachel Symthe’s LORE OLYMPUS: VOLUME 4

Andria Kennedy

Lore Olympus: Volume Four by Rachel Smythe

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Let’s welcome Persephone back to the narrative!

I admit: While I adore the additional stories that weave through the primary tale, I’d grown detached from Hades and Persephone. Much like her character, she had faded too much from what I expected her to be for me to form a real attachment to her. I saw her the same way as others in the comic: weak, too cute for her own good, and irritating. I was reading simply because the gossip was too good to look away.

But this volume!

She hit her wall, started to take back her place in the pantheon, and I LOVED it! (The ironic twist of Ares returning was not lost on me) It returned vitality to the story that I was sorely lacking.

And now I am counting the days until volume five hits the shelves!

I speak the thoughts rattling around in my brain, sharing topics I think other people want and should hear (or are afraid to talk about themselves). I bring my personality and quirky state of mind to everything I write; serious topics shouldn't be devoid of humor. That includes my blog and freelance writing (part of my charm). I've been writing for as long as I can remember. It's a source of solace and enjoyment for me. I'm lucky enough to call what I love my career - so it's NOT work! I live in Virginia with the Minions (four cats and a Greyhound) and my wonderful husband, who ensures I stay fed - no cereal for dinner - and as close to sane as I can get.
