I can't even put into words how it feels to go from Nico being a favorite character, to him becoming more and more beloved and relatable for me, to him becoming a protagonist and going on a journey that struck me terribly deeply. Nico and Will's story is not about falling in love, it's about going from "in love" to loving each other fully and truly. And I've never, NEVER seen that written with such a powerful authenticity. Every emotional interaction, every little misstep, and every little progress, felt like a punch right in the gut. I'm mentally ill, I have a relationship, and this is EXACTLY what it's like. Nico being scared that letting Will help him will scare Will away or put too much strain on him. Will not knowing how to reach Nico and how to really help him when he's struggling. Them having to accept parts of each other that are so terribly hard to open up about. It's so real and raw and not at all what I would have expected when I first got into Percy Jackson all the way back.
And at the same time, it still IS a PJO book. It's quirky and there are silly incarnations of old legends and monsters, there's adventures and sudden troubles and a touch of mysterious force from gods that more and more are becoming a reflection of their concepts. I was having fun and processing emotional trauma at the same time. What more do you want. This is probably one of my all time favorites now.

A character's behaviour closely reflects (and could be considered allegorical) to an abusive parent. There are brief moments of evil spirits trying to tempt characters into suicide.atsuanna's review against another edition

1. Didn’t Bianca choose reincarnation? So why is she in Elysium here?
2. And it was the biggest flaw of the book: THE HAZEL ERASURE. Nico talks a lot about Percy, Annabeth, Jason, sometimes Leo, but he mentions HIS SISTER like 2/3 times in the whole book. And he says that no one took care of him like will since his mom and Bianca died? What about Hazel (even Jason and Reyna). HAZEL WAS THE ONE THAT STOOD UP FOR HIM ON THE BOAT IN MOA
3. Okay a little third point, didn’t he considered Camp Jupiter as a home at some point?
BUT. It’s still a great book.
1. I loved seeing Nico choosing to move on and deal with his trauma. I loved how he choose. I loved his relationship with Will and the cute names they used.
2. It made me cry and tear up so bonus point
3. This book is everything à Nico di Angelo fan, a queer person, a queer kid needs
4. I loved that Nico got in touch with Piper at the end, I really want them to start a good friendship
5. Another thing I love, is the message that darkness, sadness and other things like that are not necessarily bad. Will learned that during the story. There is no light without darkness. And he needed it because of his préjugés. And this is a strong message for anyone struggling with them
6. I love how it talks about trauma and overcoming them by letting them go and accepting them as they are.
7. THEY DID IT. They address how wrong Cupid’s scene and the outing was
Anyway. It’s almost 2 A.M so now I’m going to sleep. Good night everyone
