Nico’s first solo adventure. I’m so happy we got this book and I love how it doesn’t shy away from the fact that the main couple is a queer couple. If you’re looking for a queer love story where the fact that they’re gay isn’t the main focus but still addressed then this is a good one.

 Nico and Will don’t have the same kind of seamless relationship that Percy and Annabeth have, they are two very different people who have to learn to see the world through each other’s eyes, their struggles are brought to light in this. It’s nice to see a relationship that has its rockier parts but they still love each other and are willing to work for it.
