About the Book
In Sun and the Star Demigods Nico di Angelo and Will Solace must endure the terrors of Tartarus to rescue an old friend in this thrilling adventure co-written by New York Times #1 best-selling author Rick Riordan and award-winning author Mark Oshiro.
Percy Jackson fans, rejoice! Nico and Will have a book of their own!
As the son of Hades, Nico di Angelo has been through so much, from the premature deaths of his mother and sister, to being outed against his will, to losing his friend Jason during the trials of Apollo. But there is a ray of sunshine in his life—literally: his boyfriend, Will Solace, the son of Apollo. Together the two demigods can overcome any obstacle or foe. At least, that's been the case so far...
Now Nico is being plagued by a voice calling out to him from Tartarus, the lowest part of the Underworld. He thinks he knows who it is: a reformed Titan named Bob whom Percy and Annabeth had to leave behind when they escaped Hades's realm. Nico's dreams and Rachel Dare's latest prophecy leave little doubt in Nico's mind that Bob is in some kind of trouble. Nico has to go on this quest, whether Mr. D and Chiron like it or not. And of course Will insists on coming with. But can a being made of light survive in the darkest part of the world? and what does the prophecy mean that Nico will have to "leave something of equal value behind?"
Nico will have to face demons both internal and external as his relationship with Will is tested to the core in this standalone adventure featuring two of the most popular characters in the Percy Jackson saga.
My Take on the Book
Rick Riordan's latest book continues to build upon the universe he's crafted over several series. The dynamic between Nico and Will in this book is a highlight, bringing fresh energy and representation to the series. Their relationship is well-crafted and offers both heartwarming moments and significant character growth. Longtime fans will appreciate the nods to previous books, with familiar faces making appearances and plotlines interweaving across the series.
However, the book is not without its flaws. Some readers might find the numerous dream sequences to be repetitive and detracting from the overall pace of the story. Despite these issues, the ending provides a satisfying conclusion with memorable quotes that resonate deeply.
For those who have journeyed through the Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus, and Trials of Apollo series, this book will likely be a fun read.
