I really like the Nico Di Angelo character when he was first introduced so I was excited to read this book but I kind of feel slightly let down. It was great to read through Nico coming to terms with himself and his PTSD but this book felt like a fanfiction almost. Mr D. was somewhat nice which threw me. It hardly felt like it was in the same Percy Jackson universe as all the other books. Maybe my expectations were too high, I don't know, but it was still a fun read.
