Don't get me wrong; I love Nico and I've been dying to read this for YEARS. Unfortunately, the plot was clunky and there were scenes that should've been cut. There were also some mistakes towards the end which really should've been weeded out by a round of editing. These all made the book feel like an unpolished draft instead of a final version. Also, is it just me or do they pass out a lot? They're gonna give Jason a run for his money!
Okay, now I've gotten that out of the way, I gotta give some praise to the book. I loved it mostly because IP works on me and Nico has been one of my favourites since The Titan's Curse, but that doesn't mean I don't love other things about it too. I liked Gorgyra, though I don't really know how to feel about how her segments were structured. And also, having this book be written by an author who isn't Riordan truly shows how different writing styles can be. It made me reflect a lot on my own writing (especially since Oshiro's voice reminds me of my own lol!)
All right, that's all from me. Bob says goodbye~ ⭐☀️

Please research the content warnings for this book if you are worried you may be affected by them, as my list may not be entirely comprehensive due to it being constructed from memory.alexevans140's review

There is just one big spoiler of something that happens in The Trials of Apollo, just so you know:
- Grief: Nico is still grieving for his mom and his sister Bianca. But most recently
- Death / Death of parent: It is mentioned how those he loved have died.
- Violence / Blood / Injury: They were in the Underworld and Tartarus, so they had to fight and were injured in the process.
- Outing: Nico tells the story of what Cupid did to him in Heroes of Olympus.
