Of course, a lot of it was pure nostalgia. I don't pick up a lot of middle grade anymore, so there are some things I struggled with. The build-up to the fight with Nyx was really good but the battle itself was disappointing and gave me Gaia flashbacks. I also wish we could've seen more character development from Will instead of just Solangelo relationship development and a lot of Nico development. We've already been through that! Give me more Will content ðŸ˜
I'm also not the biggest Bob fan and I don't understand all the hype about him which probably didn't make me the target audience.
My favourite parts were probably all the times we learned about how Nico and Will got together, their first kiss, first date etc. I must've read at least 100 different "Three Days In The Infirmary" fics since 2016, so it was nice to get some definite answers after all this time. I was worried that all those infos wouldn't feel natural in the story but Riordan found a good way of working around it.
Despite its faults, still a must-read for all of us former depressed emo kids who were a little too obsessed with Nico di Angelo.
(Don't know about you but now I'm more of a Will girlie. Is this healing?)
