9/10. I love this book, especially the insights into Nico and Reyna. As with the rest of the books in this series, I love the alternating POVs of the characters. I love seeing the seven of the prophecy get even closer together (people say they have coworker vibes but I feel close friends or even family vibes from them.) I also adore that we finally get to see Nico becoming friends with Will Solace! The only slightly negative thing I would say is that I didn't love that the final battles between gods + demigods and giants and the one between Gaea and the demigods were pretty short. I also wish that the final battles were in someone else's POV instead of Jason. Overall, good ending to the series but not great ending with the openness of what happened with Leo and Calypso. I wish we had gotten some more confirmation as to what  really happened with them after they left Ogygia.
