Description

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. Complete your Nico di Angelo collection with these series by Rick Riordan: Percy Jackson and the Olympians The Heroes of Olympus The Trials of Apollo

    I got to Percy Jackson a couple of months ago but I can already tell that Nico and Will are my favorite characters. Both have exactly the opposite personality of each other what makes even more cute I love LBGTQ+ stories and a fantasy one is a first for me I love it and wish it could have more about them. Thank you very much for this amazing experience 🙏🏳️‍🌈
  • Really good read

    It is a really good read. And for the more younger crowd, it had a good amount of references and quotes we have seen in the past year. I love the dynamic of Will and Nico with their changes and growth only expanding on their characters. I don’t want to spoil anymore of the book but I do recommend reading it.
  • A Sham

    By Ex Roirdan fan
    Be forewarned this is nothing but a gay teenage love story. It is not of the Percy Jackson mythos.The most recent PJ book is. This is not. After you purchase the book expecting another installment of Percy Jackson The forward reads essentially to all the gay teenagers. Spoiler the two guys crawl in bed together at the end of the book. This ain’t Percy Jackson. The author should give a disclaimer on the website so people don’t purchase it under false pretense. False marketing. Shame on you Riordan.
  • Solangelo ftw!

    Solangelo is amazhang, even if the co authoring made this book slightly different. The suspense, action, and romance is great, and I don’t get why certain people are saying that these books are poisoning minds. It’s not like it’s going to change all reader’s sexualities. Overall, underrated and recommended. (But you have to read the like, 25 books before this if you haven’t already.”
  • Favorite.

    First of all, I’m obsessed with Will. I don’t know why but I am. He’s so amazingly kind and hot and just perfect in every way. I’ve been waiting for a Sonangelo book…and now it’s finally here! I think that the book is kind of unique because it isn’t written in the usual Rick style, but it’s also not in the usual Mark, so it’s a mix of booth which I feel makes it even better. Some people might argue that Nico isn’t himself, but I think it’s just because this is from his perspective and we’ve never really experienced that yet. I think that this is a good way to build in some of Will’s backstory and how Nico and Will began dating, though I’m not a huge fan of the conue interlude. It’s also nice to get information about Nico’s journey into Tartarus. Also, yes I’m strait, but I love the LGBQT+ characters. I think they represent something special, especially since so many people look down on LGBQT+ people. PLEASEEEEEEEE MAKE A MAGNUS AND ALEX BOOK!!!!!! PLEASEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

    This book made me shake. It made me laugh. It made me cry (from both happiness and sadness). Rick and Mark have done a wonderful thing here in writing a book so filled with love and change and LIFE. The representation holds a close place in my heart, as do Percy Jackson's friends and stories. All things that make my world seem a little kinder and a little more possible.
  • Should I read this?

    There are some mixed reviews so idk if it’s worth the money. I really loved this series when I was younger and this book looks pretty good. Would you recommend this?
