I can understand why people may see Nico or the Solangelo relationship as flawed but at the same time...duh.
The whole point is change. This book wasn't really about the Villain or atmosphere (even though I liked it) but more about how we are our own enemies. Of course Nico is a little different here. He matured, changed, shaped himself into trying and tiptoed around his own happiness.
I loved Will, too. In the way we can finally see his trauma too. Always having to be seen as 'the bright son of Apollo' when he, too, is just a kid who has to heal everyone and take all the pain of everyone but his own.
I really cried, laughed and screamed all along this book. Deeply in love with them and Mr.D relationship with these two. (Especially his favouritism).
For me, it was the perfect ending (or start, for them) of a really painful and difficult saga. Really nice.
