I'm gonna give it to you straight (even though we all know how not-straight this book is) (sorry): This book did not meet my expectations. 
Don't get me wrong; I love Nico and I've been dying to read this for YEARS. Unfortunately, the plot was clunky and there were scenes that should've been cut. There were also some mistakes towards the end which really should've been weeded out by a round of editing. These all made the book feel like an unpolished draft instead of a final version. Also, is it just me or do they pass out a lot? They're gonna give Jason a run for his money! 

Okay, now I've gotten that out of the way, I gotta give some praise to the book. I loved it mostly because IP works on me and Nico has been one of my favourites since The Titan's Curse, but that doesn't mean I don't love other things about it too. I liked Gorgyra, though I don't really know how to feel about how her segments were structured. And also, having this book be written by an author who isn't Riordan truly shows how different writing styles can be. It made me reflect a lot on my own writing (especially since Oshiro's voice reminds me of my own lol!)

All right, that's all from me. Bob says goodbye~ ⭐☀️

While this was an enjoyable book, it did not feel like it was written my Riordan. The writing style was very different and the characters even felt different. That was a bit disappointing, but it was enjoyable nonetheless
