I can’t wait for the bind up of Lore Olympus. It’s so much fun reading it and there’s so many moments I love that I just wish I could quickly flip back through and read.
I love the new background! thanks to you, I am now gonna read some Hades and Persephone-inspired books!!!
ps: also do you remember saying something about one of the retellings you were reading they had horns? I was looking up
Hades and Persephone-inspired art on google images… and quite a few pictures had them both with horns lol … IDK thought that was weird haha. (you said you don't remember ever reading they HAD horns and I don't think I have either? I have only read a court of mist and fury (i am a Sarah J Maas fan, yes I love ALL the books NOT just that one lol) and I have only read the original myth?? and a LONG time ago in school!)
I got a notice for the new episode of Lore Olympus while I was watching this and I had to pause and go read it! I love that series!
Added a lot of this to my tbr. I’m so excited! Thanks.
I love love your new background! <333
lore olympus is probably the only reason why i still have webtoon downloaded lol
this is fun i’m gonna read some of these books i’m so glad you did this video hahah
I saw Winternight trilogy on the list and immediately knew you’d put it in god tier 🤣
I did not know that the Winternight Trilogy was a series (I only know about the Bear and the Nightingale) and it was a Hades/Persephone-inspired story. I now have to read it, thank you.
i love this and literally just was thinking about how much i wanted this💕 thank you thank you thank you
Omg I absolutely LOVE your new setup! The plants & books with the windows too 😍😍😍
Also it might be because I’m h*gh but I can think of nothing but Howl’s Moving Castle feels somewhat like a Persephone/Hadies retelling
When I’ve heard that ACOMAF is related to H&P I LoLed, why?
Lore olympus is just "chefs kiss"👌.
Touch of Darkness was easily the worst book I read in 2020.
Your new background is refreshing 👍👍👍 loved it! ❤️
A court of Wings and ruins 🔥💯
Aw yas, I have been looking forward to this video!
Lore Olympus has THE BEST Hades imo. I agree with you on the Persephone side of things (the few moments she's been acting a bit more queenly in the recent chapters are so much better). Side note, I got into it because one of your earlier videos and I'm so glad I did. Can't wait for the physical book!
Uprooted is also loosely based on a polish legend! (the wawelski dragon if I'm not mistaken)
You should watch Overly Sarcastic Productions recent video on Hade and Persephone! As a fellow fan I felt like it finally vindicated me in showing how modern culture has warped their characters into "naive little girl and The Devil." The ancient sources actually support Persephone being a bad ass queen of the underworld and even the kidnapping was actually sanctioned by her dad? PLEASE give it a watch
I've just finished The Hades Trials trilogy by Eliza Raine and Rose Wilson (book one is The Power of Hades) and I really enjoyed reading these. I also have Tempting Hades by Emma Hamm on my tbr. And she just came out with a Medusa retelling Becoming Medusa, which is also on my tbr.
I love your little houseplant rack! I'm working on a Pygmalion/Galatea retelling myself. Myth retellings and tweaks are fun~~
Is there a list of them somewhere? Hard to squint to see the titles, would be much appreciated, please and thank you 🙂
I’m so glad you made this video 💖
i haven't actually read a lot of Hades and Persephone retellings, but I really liked Shadow guild:Hades and persephony trilogy by Lindsey hall
You should read the webtoon 'Punderworld' 🙂
It's not that long yet but really great especially the art
It’s more Beaty and the beast, but Hearts Blood by Juliette Marillier is really good. Her books in general are great, a lot of lesser know fairytales. Also, if you liked A Rogue by any Other Name, maybe try out The Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas, it’s quite similar but I liked it so much more. I think historical romance is fun, but rarely rate them higher than 3 stars, this one was 5 stars all the way!
i've been having a craving for these types of book so this video has EXCELLENT timing
Thank you for sharing these. The Punderworld webtoon might be of interest. 🙂
Aaa this is excellent! My favourite is Catherynne Valente’s “Deathless”✨
I love the background with the plants and books! It looks so good
been waiting for thiiiiis~
I can't stand Lore Olympus. It has self-insert and heavy pedo vibes
I've been waiting for 84 years!!
