Cute and nostalgic. It fell a bit short of my expectations, but I still had a lot of fun reading. Nico has always been one of my favorite characters, and I loved being able to follow along with him. I hope to see more in this series(?)!

This book is simply the best book in the riordanverse.
Thank you for creating this piece of literature that found so much resonance in me. My only wish is that I could have read in when I was younger, as I know it would have helped me understand and accept myself way easily. But my heart is so full knowing that kids will be able to have this book and grow with the representation they deserve. Grief, sadness, loneliness, feeling unlovable, feeling out of place because of who you are, being confused… it’s okay and you are, in fact, not the only one feeling that way. Let yourself shine as bright as the sun and the stars ♥️
ps : Nico di Angelo, I love you, whether I’m 10 or 20.

Extremely ooc and unemotional despite the plot hinging on emotion. Only 2 stars because the plot picks up in the second half.

Reading something from the Pjo universe after literal years, and I could not be happier. The tension, the drama, the emotions, the cute exchanges- I live for all of it.
Will dazzled all throughout the book, and Nico never disappoints. There were moments where I wanted to scream, moments where the two made me giddy with their love. I could not have asked for a better couple.
Starting from the first, I loved how Rick was alternating between two instances form the beginning, until they finally reached the point where the other instance started. The moments with Gorgyra were just so precious. Honestly, ever since I met Nico, i had just wanted him to have a spinoff of his own, and The Sun And The Star is like my wish granted.
The prophecy was abrupt but I loved how the obstacles that lay in fulfilling it were so heightened and deliberately set. The cacodemons and troglodytes were just the absolute cutest, and I have a whole buncha respect stored somewhere for Nyx and her power.
All in all, the book was such a good trip down memory lane for me a I grew up reading Pjo and now I get to revisit the universe, in such a delightful way.
