Nico was an obvious (yet very welcome) choice for this development in the pjo universe.
Nico and Will have been beloved characters for a good while within the series and I love how this book draws attention to both the harmonies and hardships of their relationship. It isn't afraid to show how they sometimes clash as individuals but both have an understanding that it doesn't make or break their relationship. If anything: their differences complete one another.
However
It took me a while to get through simply because it was co-written. And while that wasn't a bad thing nor is it a deal breaker: I'm so used to and fond of Rick's writing style that it was sometimes jarring when Mark Oshiro was writing instead. I know, from friends that have read this book, that it isn't an issue for most people. But to me I found the two authors have different writing styles (especially when it comes to describing settings or emotions) so I sometimes found it hard to get into long reading sessions of this book as the difference broke up the chapters quite a lot to me.
Mark Oshiro was nevertheless an incredible choice of co-author for Rick to make as I did enjoy his individual writing style but I think (since I'm very comfortable with Ricks writing style and I find it easy to read) it simply took longer to read/ follow than a normal Rick Riordan book for this reason

Jedoch kommen dabei auch viele Plot Points viel zu kurz, der End-Kampf (sowie auch der vorherige) haben keinen wirklichen Sinn ergeben, schwer nachzuvollziehen. Viele Charaktere wirkten OOC (out of character) und sehr platt. <Spoiler> darunter Will der irgendwie nur Nicos Freund ist und weiter? Percy und Annabeth wurden viel zu oft erwähnt und hatten auch ein kurzes cameo, wirkte auch total daneben und nicht so, wie man sie kennt. Mr. D. ja, das ist schwierig zu beurteilen, genauso Chiron... Entweder ist Rick noch unzuverlässiger bei Nebencharakteren als gedacht oder Mark hat viel verändert, ob gut oder schlecht? Schwierig zu sagen</Spoiler>
End-Resultat: super Buch das uns Will und Nico näher bringen, endlich auch in schwierigere Aspekte des Halbgott Seins blicken. Es lohnt sich!

This was everything I’ve ever wanted for Nico. I am SO happy he got a book, and for so many things within the book I don’t want to share because ✨ spoilers ✨ but wow. I’m sitting here with a huge grin on my face. That ending? So feel good. I think the only thing I didn’t love the most was the back and forth of the first 60ish percent in the audiobook form. It probably would’ve been totally fine in physical book form because of clues within the formatting. But as an audiobook there were times where I was confused if we were in a flashback, the present, or the beginning? Either way I was always able to figure it out and enjoy the story. It was such a heart filling quest and I really enjoyed this book.
