Sumár recenzie
Recenzia knihy Vášne Olympu — Kniha prvá (Rachel Smythe, CooBoo 2026) hodnotí knihu 3/5 a obálku tiež 3/5. Komiks sa číta rýchlo, lebo textu je minimum a rozprávanie stojí na vizuále, ktorý je však miestami problémový — postavy sú si príliš podobné a farebná paleta (tmavé odtiene, modrá a ružová) zhoršuje orientáciu. Autorka originálne spracovala grécku mytológiu v modernom kontexte s médiami a večierkami, čo príbehu dodáva svieži nádych. Po dočítaní zostali recenzentke zmiešané pocity: čakala viac deja a v podstate ide len o rýchly úvod do dlhšej série, preto plánuje skúsiť ešte jeden alebo dva diely, ale nie je rozhodnutá pokračovať.
