Status Updates From Lore Olympus: Volume Five

I hate Apollo 🥳🥳 I say this every book and every book he gets worse

Asking google (sorry, oracle) 'why would a goddess turn into butterflies?' is crazy

'Emitting a high-pitched whine that only dogs can hear'
HADES ARE YOU OK?

"Think! If I were totally basic, where would I hide incriminating evidence?"
Finds incriminating evidence against Persephone taped to the underside of her bed.

WAIT THIS IS ACHILLES' MOM! I can see the resemblance though. She's just as much in Zeus' good graces as in the Illiad

"Too bad you can't fake a pregnancy"
"Thetis!"
"Oh, what? You're suddenly 'too good' to do that?"

Only stupidity leaves Thetis' mouth

"Nobody is going to fix your problems for you...So stop sitting on your ass and moping." wise words from Thetis. I still don't like her though.

It’s weird to me that the cover is a redrawn version of Hera

Please, the dialogue is so unnatural and awkward sometimes 🫠

Their first kiss was so rushed and random! Booooo

The characters are starting to stick with me more now that this is my second watch. I’m really glad to see that other people agree the relationship dynamic between Persephone and Hades is gross.
Also there’s 2 instances of someone asking someone else (basically) if their mom is still hot. Repetitive

I was so confused the first time that I had to read it again. I don’t care about Minthe, the author hasn’t given us enough reason to sympathize with her. Also these plot points need to be clearer, and the characters still need to be differentiated more!

Finished after midnight so technically August 14

(No real page numbers)
Typo at the beginning of Episode 110.
Also the kiss in 110 was so sudden and not a great payoff as a reader.
