*Major Tower of Nero Spoilers*

Okay, I finished Tower of Nero.

Safe to say I am an Emotional Wreck TM. 

Let’s start with my feelings: 

SLDKFJL:FKJSKF PWEYPAEYWSDUIHLDKE UFAQW F{DPHUSSKJS FSK

Okay feelings are done with.

What I liked:

I AM A SLUT FOR SOLANGELO AND I LOVED SOLANGELO

Will’s a GLOWING BABY JUST LIKE THE FANFICS

Nico goes to Mr. D for his mental health issues. This, hands down, has to be one of my most favorite things about the book. I’m glad this boy is getting the support he needs.

ESTELLE!!!!!!!!! WHAT A FREAKING CUTIE!!!!!!!

 Apollo’s character development was ON FLEEK 

OVeRAchiEviNG NigHTLigHt

Nico wearing various cowboy hats

Will wearing a lampshade

Honestly I feel like the most powerful part of the book was when Meg had to stand up to Nero. That part was just so... emotional for me. This poor girl and her foster siblings had been living in his lies, his torture, his pain for literal years with no support whatsoever. But Meg proved she could defeat him and his evil embrace, and she grew up. I love her so much. 

“LiKE i’LL tAke YoU oUt For PizZa ThiS WeEkEnd iF yOuRe NoT ToO AnNoYiNG”

solangelo holding hands and squeezing each other’s hands??? YES PLEASE

(as you can tell, most of these are about solangelo lmao)

WILL HAS A FUCKIN TATTOO

“WiLLiAm AndReW SoLaCe! Do YoU hAvE sOmeThiNG yOu NeEd To TeLL mE?”

APOLLO MADE THE “honey he gay” MEME AND I SLDKFJLSDKF

(i know he didn’t actually but THE FACT THAT UNCLE RICK REFERENCED IT HAS ME SCREAMING)

I love how human Apollo has become. Like I know that often times i complain about humans with my friends, but i think this series has made me realize how amazing humanity can be, too. 

PIPER IS QUEER AND BITCH I FUCKING KNEW IT I JUST KNEW IT LIKE THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY SHE WASN’T IM SO EXCITED

there’s probably a lot more shit that i loved but I just don’t remember it

What I didn’t like/didn’t get enough info on: 

To be honest, I was REALLY hoping for more of a backstory on Will. Like, why does he stay at camp year-round? Is his mom bad? Or does he just do it because of some other purpose?

Going back to Will, I wish we got a lot more info about Will’s character. Like, yes, he glows and he’s the god of the sun - but that’s not all he is. But I feel like the story really painted him that way, and I didn’t like it that much. He just seems like he was created to be Nico’s boyfriend, and I wish we could have gotten a larger glimpse into his backstory and personality. Yes, we know he’s nice.. but what about mental health? What’s it like watching, what, 3 siblings die in the battle in PJO? What’s it like being the head counselor? We never got these questions answered :/

HOW did nico and will start their relationship??? that’s been plaguing me for a while. like yes, we know they date... but HOW? we never get a story on that. while i understand this is in the perspective of apollo and these probably aren’t the most important questions to think about, i feel like it would’ve been nice to at least get an understanding of where they come from, you know? cuz otherwise, it seems like they’re just there to fulfill the hearts of solangelo shippers and stand as representation when they’re so much more than that 

NO SOLANGELO KISS AND I WAS REALLY HOPING FOR ONE

kinda similar to the will-didn’t-get-a-backstory, i wish we got more of a backstory on his other kids, too. last i remember, it seems Austin and Kayla have been here since January, which can mean they most likely stay all year too. but why? 

Reyna joined the hunters and Nico still doesn’t know. Again, I know there was more of an imminent danger, so this probably wasn’t the best time to tell Nico any of that, so maybe we’ll find this out in the nico standalone book that Riordan said he might write 

RACHEL REALLY SAID A PROPHECY. LIKE THIS MAN CAN’T GET ENOUGH WITH THE PROPHECIES AND CLIFFHANGERS CAN HE????

this probably means that we will definitely get a nico standalone book and that’s exciting but STILL i dont even know if it’s CONFIRMED, i just know that out of anything, it is very POSSIBLE

i feel like we never got that much into Nico’s PTSD, and I wish we did. Like on top of finding out that Jason is confirmed dead, Nico has these nightmares that were mentioned only once. Which is another reason why i think we’ll get a standalone Nico book - becasue clearly there’s a LOT more to unpack here. but i just wished that we could have gone deeper into this, because it’s important to address mental health issues like these. i’m glad he’s talking with dionysus though :)

similar to PTSD with Nico, I was kinda wondering how Percy and Annabeth were dealing with that stuff... and also, are they also hearing the voices? 

Chiron said he met with people from other pantheons - what did they discuss? AND HOW DID HE MEET THEM???

LSKJFLKJDF DOES HAZEL KNOW THAT HER BROTHER HAS A BF???? DOES SHE???? I NEED TO KNOW 

SAME WITH REYNA - DOES SHE KNOW?

again, there’s probably more things that i didn’t like or wanted more info on but i can’t remember right now

But anyway, that’s all for now. I want to thank Rick Riordan for blessing us with such an amazing series. Though it could definitely be problematic in some cases, i think overall it was great and it’s very near and dear to my heart.

I love my demigods.
