As a die hard percy Jackson Fan, I was so excited when this book was announced. Nico and Will have been some of my favorite chracters and I loved getting to know them better. My favorite thing about Rick Riordans books is how diverse they are and how much more they get as he learns more whoch is much appreciated. I can't wait to read more Percy Jackson stories!

I grew up with the original Percy Jackson series, I grew up reading and loving this universe that Rick Riordan created.

I'm certain that nostagia plays a part in how much I loved this, it doesn't matter of I'm 10 or 20, the series will always been a favourite of mine and with it Nico Di Angelo will always been one of my favourite characters. Nico and Will a amazing together and a part.

Nico's journey in self acceptance and healing is so touching, him and will were some of the one of the first queer representation I encountered in books and so to have a book just fully dedicated to them is everything to me.

Whilst this was only a preview - as usual Rick Riordan and written what appears to be another fantastic novel in the Percy Jackson universe.

I NEED to go buy a copy of the full novel and will do a full review when I have read it. You've sold me.

How could I ever dislike anything Rick Riordan writes? It didn't surprise me that I loved this book, as I've been a huge Percy Jackson fan for years so learning more about other characters in this world was something I was so into! Nico and Will are two of my favourites, and getting to see this journey they go on and how they grow was so special!

4.25/5 stars! This was a great entry from the Camp Half-Blood Chronicles series. Rick Riordan continues to be able to write middle-grade stories with surprising depth and adventure that can rope in readers of all ages. I loved Nico and Will's relationship and Rick is a must-read author for me.

I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review

I loved the start of this book. It is a continuation of Nico and Will's story. I am excited to read the whole book and find out what happens with Nico and Will.

This book gave me so much nostalgia, but it wasn't my favourite. Still it is a good addition to the series

I didn't realise this was just a snippet! Nonetheless, it's fun to be back in this world I love so much and I'm excited to finish the book!

Follow along as two demigods endure the horrors of hell to recuse an old friend. This thrilling adventure is set within the exisiting world we know and love, following along secondary characters from the original story.

Yet here they are front and centre on their own epic adventure. Will they be able to overcome every obstacle and foe? I guess Iโ€™ll have to keep reading to find out.

Thanks to Netgalley and Penguin Random House for access to this extract!

As a lifelong Percy Jackson fan, I was thrilled to read the first few chapters of The Sun and The Star. It felt so nostalgic to be diving back into this world, yet refreshing to see it through another character's eyes. I loved getting more insight into Nico's thoughts and feelings, and I was completely hooked from the first few pages - I'll definitely be picking the book up to finish it!

Rick Riordan Fan seit den DIeben im Olymp! Ich war so aufgeregt, als nicht nur ein neues Buch von ihm angekรผndigt wurde, sondern auch noch mit meinem absoluten Liebling als Hauptfigur! Die Umsetzung, abwechselnd in Nicos und Wills Perspektive zu schreiben, gefรคllt richtig gut. Dazu gibt es immer wieder Kapitel, die eigentlich im lezten Drittel des Buches spielen, wenn Will und Nico der Nymphe des Archeron von sich empfehlen. Anfangs etwas verwirrend, aber spรคtestens ab dem zweiten Mal klar. Dazu kommen dann Rรผckblenden, meistens wenn die beiden erzรคhlen, oder auch Trรคume. Diese sind sehr cool gekennzeichnet, indem die entsprechenden Seiten ein leichtes Hintergrundlayout bekommen haben. Spitzen Idee meiner Meinung nach! Auch die Handlung an sich ist gut. Man sollte aber auf jeden Fall Abenteuer des Apollo komplett gelesen haben, sonst kommt man nicht mit. Das ist fรผr Fans zwar toll, schlieรŸt aber leider die Interessierten Leser:innen aus, die nicht alle drei Vorgรคngerreihen gelesen haben.
