This book healed something in me. It is also a testimony to why Authors should bring in Co-authors more often. Rick is aware of his young and old audiences and the balance of topics in this book show it. Nico's PTSD and Wills guilt is not shied away from. Mark was such a wonderful co-author. Conversations on queerness and gender felt natural. Will and Nico were clearly written with a queer person. I wish more time had been spent in Tartarus but it didn't take anything away in the long run.
