wow, just wow. not only was this an incredible story and addition to the universe, it has a really beautiful message i really needed to hear. i was on the edge of my seat the whole time, and couldn't predict what the prophecy meant. it was really well paces because moments of sadness or terror were broken up by humour. "childhood trauma" ?? iconic. overall a fantastic plot with a much needed moral.

A wonderful addition to the PJO universe, focusing on two of my favourite characters. As expected, the plot was a great reimagining and mixing of classical myth, and I loved that it was so open and trauma and growth. The main message is that the only person who defines you is you, and that is lovely to see in a book aimed at young teens. It’s only a 4* because some of the writing in the early part of the book made me cringe, but a younger reader wouldn’t have the same issue.

This is a very queer book. At least in the way I’ve experienced my life (+ the tism). There’s just something about hurt and lonely people gaining hope that things will be better. I truly did not want this book to end. This book could go anywhere and I would follow it happily.
My suggestion: don’t read this on an airplane for 3 hours if you’re prone to crying at emotional things cause let me tell you…………

Nico Di Angelo and Will Solace. What a book. I’m emotionally destroyed. I’m in heaven. I’m in hell. I am so fucking thankful for this book - the justice finally given to Nico and his story.
A beautiful nuanced look at darkness and light in relationships, literally.

4.5
1. Didn’t Bianca choose reincarnation? So why is she in Elysium here?
2. And it was the biggest flaw of the book: THE HAZEL ERASURE. Nico talks a lot about Percy, Annabeth, Jason, sometimes Leo, but he mentions HIS SISTER like 2/3 times in the whole book. And he says that no one took care of him like will since his mom and Bianca died? What about Hazel (even Jason and Reyna). HAZEL WAS THE ONE THAT STOOD UP FOR HIM ON THE BOAT IN MOA
3. Okay a little third point, didn’t he considered Camp Jupiter as a home at some point?
BUT. It’s still a great book.
1. I loved seeing Nico choosing to move on and deal with his trauma. I loved how he choose. I loved his relationship with Will and the cute names they used.
2. It made me cry and tear up so bonus point
3. This book is everything à Nico di Angelo fan, a queer person, a queer kid needs
4. I loved that Nico got in touch with Piper at the end, I really want them to start a good friendship
5. Another thing I love, is the message that darkness, sadness and other things like that are not necessarily bad. Will learned that during the story. There is no light without darkness. And he needed it because of his préjugés. And this is a strong message for anyone struggling with them
6. I love how it talks about trauma and overcoming them by letting them go and accepting them as they are.
7. THEY DID IT. They address how wrong Cupid’s scene and the outing was
Anyway. It’s almost 2 A.M so now I’m going to sleep. Good night everyone
