A very cute conclusion to a very cute serious. Lots of suffering and this didn't hit as hard as other series have in the past, but it's still a good serious. The final battle with Python was fire and even if the ending was very neat and tidy, those hints at three more potential books were very sneaky indeed. Good stuff.

the ending was even more beautiful than i was anticipating. apollo/lester's development through the series HOLY SHIT it's like you can't recognize the man anymore. i love that he went and visited everyone, it was such a nice way to wrap up the series. i loved seeing everyone again!

will & nico <3 can't wait to read the sun and the star. 

overall, while it takes immense patience to get through book 1&2, i'm so happy with how this series turned out.
