This series gets better from book to book. I feel like this is the most mature one so far and

and at times it turns unexpectedly gutwrenchingly sad.

Jason’s death actually didn’t affect me that much, maybe because I expected it, and more waited for it the hole book (I had heard that he was going to die, but examples from other books show that that isn’t the case)

wow…the most emotional i think i’ve ever been reading a book, possibly ever. apollo’s character development as he literally gains proximity to humanity and empathy is so moving. he’s still sassy and arrogant and not losing a touch of that overconfidence that makes his pov so amusing, but he’s gaining so much softness and understanding so much of what it means to be human. it almost makes you, as the reader, feel exposed to everything that makes life difficult—but also makes it worth living. truly a heartbreaking, inspiring, and somehow still riotously funny novel.
