the ending was even more beautiful than i was anticipating. apollo/lester's development through the series HOLY SHIT it's like you can't recognize the man anymore. i love that he went and visited everyone, it was such a nice way to wrap up the series. i loved seeing everyone again!

will & nico <3 can't wait to read the sun and the star. 

overall, while it takes immense patience to get through book 1&2, i'm so happy with how this series turned out.

I loved how it dealt with generational trauma, Apollo couldn’t change the Olympians but knew he could at least change and decided to cut them off ( as much as could ) while also being a god the semi gods could count on. It was very sweet and I loved how all the characters got such a happy ending :( Reyna and Leo being cute as hell siblings was not something I had on my bingo card but I loved it! Will and Nico were adorable, it was funny, the found family was incredible as always and I just enjoyed this book so much more then the other ones in TOA. I love the happy endings they all made for themselves, it made me so happy <3

"You'll come back?" she asked.
"Always," I promised. "The sun always comes back."

¿Es predecible? Un poco, sí.
¿Lo disfruté? Por su puesto.
¿Es lo mejor que he leído de Rick? En lo absoluto. 
 Se siente no sólo como el final del viaje de Apolo, también como el final de una era... aunque probablemente esté exagerando un poco.
Sí me gustó pero no puedo evitar el pensamiento de que falta algo. Ver el crecimiento de Meg y Lester-Apolo y acompañarlos durante todo el proceso fue algo bonito y admirable, en especial el desarrollo emocional de Apolo, quien en un inicio era sumamente superficial; conforme avanza la saga, se vuelve más humano y entiende la importancia de todas las formas de vida, además del peso de todos los errores cometidos a lo largo de su existencia.
Mi partes favoritas fueron las interacciones entre Nico y Will, ellos son todo lo que está bien en esta vida. 

When he'd told me to remember being human, he'd meant building on pain and tragedy, overcoming it, learning from it. That was something gods never did. We just complained.
To be human is to move forward, to adapt, to believe in your ability to make things better. That is the only way to make the pain and sacrifice mean something.
