One word to describe the whole book is CUTE. Which is funny considering this is a Nico Di Angelo story, but his relationship with Will is just so cute, they’re my babies, I want to protect them from everything and I loved them from the very first pages 🥺💛 

This book is basically Nico’s quest to go to Tartarus and save “the one who calls his name” and Will knew it was going to dangerous for him to go too because he’s a son of a Apollo and needs the sun, but that would not stop him and he goes along. I loved seeing both of them protecting each other, their strength, their determination, their loyalty, their love 🤧 

I know sometimes their dialogue and nicknames could seem cheesy, but to me it was just so cute and sweet and funny. They’ve been together for a year and I was so happy that we got to read some stories between them at the beginning of their relationship (the moment they knew they liked each other, how one asked the other on a date, their first kiss). There were moments where I could’ve cried of how cuteness and how happy and proud I am of them 😭❤️ 

As always, even the smallest appearance of Percy and Annabeth makes me happy, and is so cheesy and funny that their only advice for them on Tartarus was that they would be okay because they had each other lmao but it’s true! That’s how Percabeth survived after all. 

This is so coming of age, so cute, being proud of who you are and loving who you want, coming out... I feel like this book can be SO important for so many kids out there who want and need someone to feel related and safe. And this book is perfect for that. 

I’m going to miss Nico and Will so much, this is easily a 4.5 ⭐ for me.

There is just one big spoiler of something that happens in The Trials of Apollo, just so you know:

- Grief: Nico is still grieving for his mom and his sister Bianca. But most recently

he’s also grieving for Jason’s death.

- Death / Death of parent: It is mentioned how those he loved have died.

- Violence / Blood / Injury: They were in the Underworld and Tartarus, so they had to fight and were injured in the process.

- Outing: Nico tells the story of what Cupid did to him in Heroes of Olympus.

I really loved the themes of the book - about trauma, accepting your darker elements, letting people in, grief, etc. but dear god the plot was so long and boring. I know we all want to know about Nico and will's relationship, they are very cute, but this was too long for this, it should have been a much shorter novel.

The beginning was really slow and i just don't like humor derived from mispronouncing things and brand names. I also thought the character arcs were pretty obvious. 
Nonetheless, I was very invested toward the end and liked Will and Nico's relationship very much.
