I have no words. I loved this. You can clearly see how much effort Rick Riordan and of course Mark Oshiro went through to create this real, tense, heartbreaking, believable, heartwarming, and QUEER story. The representation and their ability to bring words to emotions brought me to tears on multiple occasions. Not to mention the fact that the plot itself was wonderful and how excited I was to return to this world. A definite 5⭐️.

Nico was not afraid of the light anymore.

“We are not only one thing forever. We‘re allowed to change at any point in our lives. We don‘t have to be stuck with a label someone else assigns us. Gods, we don‘t even have to stick to a label we give ourselves. So, you can be bi or pan or a lesbian or queer, and tomorrow you may have a better sense of who you are, or tomorrow you can be a big ole queer mess and figure it out fifty years from now.”

Will had heard love described in so many dramatic, bizarre ways over the years, but no one had described it like this:
It‘s like drifting down a river of pain and knowing you are safe.
It‘s like holding a person in your arms and realizing they are an interlocking piece of a puzzle you hadn‘t known how to assemble.

Lovelylottereader It‘s like staring into a dark and treacherous expanse, unsure of what awaits you but finding comfort in the fact that you won‘t have to face it alone.
It was a son of Apollo falling for a son of Hades.
It was this.

He was at home in darkness.
But that didn‘t mean that he couldn‘t choose the alternative.

He was the son of Apollo.
He had survived the Underworld without the sun.
He was one of only four demigods ever to travel to Tartarus.
And now here was Nico di Angelo, the boy he‘d fallen in love with, fighting to return to the mortal world.

Three words.
A promise of hope.

The words tingled Will‘s ear.
They ignited his heart.

“I love you.”

And they fell.

quote

“What does it mean?”
“Us,” Will said. “Together. Two sides of one coin. I gave it to Nico so if we ever got separated he would know I was thinking of him, no matter where he was.”
