#i liked the bit about having children with nyx tho that was really fun

Never read TSATS or anything related to it(it’s part of Percy Jackson right?) but I still wouldn’t mind hearing your opinion on it if you have any to share. From what I’ve seen, the new book doesn’t sit well with most folks it seems. :x

Oh Anonnie, if you know me you know I love to talk non-stop about everything and anything so here I go

Putting this whole rant under read more so nobody who doesn't wanna see it has to

That makes two of us I haven't read the full book either and I don't really want to, but yes, it is a sorta side story I suppose that belongs in the Percy Jackson saga

If you are only seeing the opinions from my blog and my adjacents then I will confess a bit of bias because I don't like Will Solace or Solangelo as a whole, so yeah, maybe it sits well with actual Solangelo shippers (?) Who knows I don't go there

But yeah I have seen from the people I interact with that it wasn't exactly stellar writing

Take it with a grain of salt that I already didn't like the premise of the book and I'm not planning on ever reading it full but my opinion is that from everything I have seen it is so bland

Like Solangelo to me have always had the issue that their relationship feels like so sanitized, the whole time they speak to each other like they are trying to get a good grade on couples therapy and it's so grating

Second I don't like Will because he almost had no character whatsoever before the book and a bit on Trails of Apollo, and then now that he does have a character he just gets on my nerves, like for a kid dating the literal prince of the underworld he sure loves to complain about it. I think I dislike how much Will doesn't seem to actually like Nico as much as he seems to only like the potential of what Nico could be

Plus calling him a liar who just didn't try to be liked enough before they got together isn't exactly the best move in my opinion but I digress

Beyond that I have such an issue with all the continuity errors, like that's always an issue with me, even with the original author making mistakes and then proudly exclaiming that he just didn't care and didn't remember, but at least with Riordan I can confidently say that he cares about the world and stories he's built over the years.

With this new author I just don't think they really care all that much about the Riordanverse as a general, and specifically I don't think they care much for Nico either.

He's super ooc basically the whole way through, coming out in front of everybody like he didn't hella struggle with his sexuality and the fact that everybody openly hated him a few months prior.

On that note I feel like all the pop culture references and weird jokes were just stretched so unnecessarily long and missing the charm of the original sagas.

Just as well I do know the author said he re read all the books before finishing the first draft but like honestly with how he just didn't care at all about any of Nico's prior relationships didn't touch on anything beyond what was happening on the book itself and didn't even mention his other most important people by more than name.

Yeah it's bad.

My issue is that besides all the corny writing that feels like it's purposely trying to teach you something all the out of time and context jokes and the characters and whatever I don't like

I really just feel like the person who wrote it doesn't care about Nico Di Angelo and his story on the Riordanverse and that really upsets me.
