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

don’t understand why this series isn’t well-received by fans. it beautifully ties up the stories of our favorite demi-gods, with apollo hilariously narrating all of it along the way. this is my favorite book of this series because seeing apollo’s growth is just too endearing. absolutely loved it.

Apollo I love you. Also, yes the ending made me cry. If it was the last book, it would have been a great ending for all the characters. But there’s so much to do (especially with the thing going on with the multiple pantheon)

I loved this ending for the series. 

Nero is basically Trump, everyone is a little gay and there is no character, who doesn’t need therapy!

Highly recommend!
