I'm going to be in college when this book comes out
EDIT: September 20, 2020
16 DAYS UNTIL THIS BOOK COMES OUT! I'm so excited!! 4 years later and I'm a struggling college sophmore. Hopefully this book makes me less stressed lol
Review (October 13, 2020):
I finally finished this book (although is finishing a book only like a week after it's released actually slow? anyway)
If I'm being honest this was not my favorite Percy Jackson / Heroes of Olympus / Trials of Apollo book. Do not get me wrong, I still rated it 5 stars and I loved it so much! I'm so happy that we were able to see more of Will and Nico together and I thought that the way that Rick Riordan ended this series was very satisfactory.
I love Apollo and Meg's dynamic of an older brother younger sister relationship. Apollo cares for her greatly and the way that Rick Riordan deals with the topic of an abusive and manipulative father is incredibly well done in a way that still makes it digestible for young children. Although I did not grow up in such a terrible home, Meg's own individual personality outside of what she had to go through reminds me so much of myself when I was 12.
As I read this series, I felt as if I was reading a character that represented my younger self, and when I was younger most characters I read about were people that I wanted to be. People that were so cool and amazing. But Meg is not a typical main character in a middle grade book and I just connected with her so much throughout the series. Not really sure where I was going with this... just wanted all my thoughts written down.
I feel like a piece of my childhood is dead though since there is no more after this.... (OR IS THEREEEEEE) (view spoiler)
I really enjoyed this book and it gave me so many feels. I'm sad to say that it's over. I grew up on these books and they made me love reading. How could it come to an end?

Midterms disgust me
when you preorder the book but it wont come for a week after the release date
me too!also question: are and Reyna dating? i wanted rick to make it cannon in the last book, but he didnt.
Will and Nico having stories would be remarkable! But i heard there would be no more greek myth books by Rick riordan馃槩馃槶
@Anna i know. cant stop me from dreaming tho
I feel like there would be more! Remember the Chiron/Bast/Mimir thing referred to? Also how Annabeth was crying in Magnus Chase? I am 眉ber excited cause I feel a mega crossover is coming!!!!!
Also there鈥檚 a possibility of a Nico and Will Series!!
We all want a series of Nico and Will, he just indicated that a series should be written but he said otherwise.I am really confused about if he wil write or not
I would love a Will & Nico series it would be great, but I was kinda hoping for a crossover
I鈥檓 hoping the tv series will turn out better than the movies
Scarlett Willow wrote: "I鈥檓 hoping the tv series will turn out better than the movies"I know, right! I remember when I was in sixth grade my English teacher decided to play Percy Jackson & the Olympians; you should have heard me yelling at the screen!
Crazy, now I'm in college.
Omg if this is the end I鈥檒l just dieI swear I will
THIS CANNOT END LIKE IT CANT.
I just feel there are a few loose ends to tie together, and hopefully something happens.... or millions of PJO fans will revolt , myself included
I would love a series of Nico and Will
same
I really want a series with will and nico or the hunters of Artemis or BOTH
solangelo book PLEASE
