WAS SO EXITED FOR THE PREVIEW CHAPTER LOVE THE BOOK. Bought the actual book the first week it was out.

Everything Rick Riordan writes is GOLD. Mark Oshiro is an added BONUS. This is an amazing read and everyone should read it. I love them so much! Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for the opportunity to read in exchange for a review.

A great beginning to a wonderful book! Since reading this preview, I have read the entire title, and it was amazing! Rick Riordan always delivers and Mark Oshiro adds a wonderful element to the story. The queer humor was on point and mixed well with the classic Riordan style. I'm so glad we got a look into Nico's mind. I also love that we saved a friend that otherwise would have been left behind. I recommend reading at least the Heroes of Olympus series to understand this, as some of the in-jokes and emotional beats work better with that in mind.

I've read the whole book by now and it did not disappoint!

Being the first queer characters I read about, these two will always have such a special place in my heart <33

This book has this charm all the riordanverse have: adventures with high stakes and a lot of humour sprinkled in, discussing deeper topics as well! I loved it so much!

I loved the excerpt of The Sun and the Star and read it together with my almost 13-year-old daughter: it made us both even more excited to read the book, which I preordered months ago! I can already tell this is going to be a fantastic book!

Thank you NetGalley and Disney Hyperion for the ARC, all opinions are my own.

I have always appreciated the diversity in Riordan's books, and this is no exception. As someone who grew up reading PJO, I found this book a good continuation of Nico's story (and I loved reading more about Will!). I've already bought my copy and can't wait to read it again!

A story that focuses on my favorite character, Nico and also Will? Yes please! Another fun story from Riordan that fans of the Camp Half Blood series won't want to miss.

Another installment in the Camp Half-Blood Chronicles, and once again it was amazing. Loved following Nico and Will on their adventure to save Bob from Tartarus. I loved how Rick and Mark wrote the dynamics between Nico and Will, and how they both had to come to terms with things about each other. I enjoyed this very much and while I don't know if there will be any more books to come, I really hope there are. I would love to see more of Nico and Will.

Thanks so much to the publisher and to Netgalley for providing me with an e-ARC copy of this book!

I have scheduled promotional posts around release day for this book and I will provide a full review on my Instagram once I am able to get to this read.

Rating 5 stars on Netgalley as a placeholder for me to update later once the review is complete.

Will also complete a review on Goodreads once read.

Thanks again!

4.5 rounded up
Love the characters and yhe story. Wonderful escape book. Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, I'm so incredibly excited for this book !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Advance 50 pages for the new Rick Riordan book, just got me hyped to read the book. It's looking good so far and I cannot wait for the real thing.

A great new addition to the Percy Jackson Universe. This story has me wanting to do another deep dive into all the percy jackson books just to get an idea of how everything connects.

Fantastic book! Great characters, interesting Underworld mythology, compelling character development, it's got it all!

I haven't read the books in a good couple of years and I was still able to follow along with the story. I'll re-read them soon and re-read this again with a better understanding of the events they referenced throughout the book.

The start of this book was wonderful. It has a couple prophecies, visions and things from previous Percy Jackson books. If you liked Percy Jackson then you will really like this book. I can’t wait to get the full novel. Thank you to Disney Books & Net Galley for the advanced excerpt to confirm my love for Percy Jackson!

Rick Riordan quite literally is the reason I read today. I can recall exactly the first time I saw one of his books and felt intrigued by the concept of books. My friend Miguel was on our school bus reading Battle of the Labyrinth and I, bored as can be, pestered him until he put the book down and spoke to me. I had asked him what he was reading and he mentioned he had just bought it from our book fair. He then proceeded to tell me about the book. Whether it was because I had a crush on him or because the book genuinely interested me, I went that weekend to Walmart and bought the first book in the series. Everything else fell into place after that.

It was a joy to revisit these characters, especially Nico, who I keep dear in my heart and fervently name whenever someone asks me what my favorite series is. While this was only an excerpt that I read, for that short time, I once again felt like a 9-year-old me asking my mom to buy me the blue book with a kid holding a trident on the cover.

This was a 50 page excerpt of a book I'm really looking forward to reading and I had a great time with it. It left me wanting more and it made me want the book like now. I'm really excited for this story.

Nico di Angelo and Will Solace go on a quest to Tartarus to save an old friend. One the way to Tartarus they talk to some familiar faces. Once they make it to the underworld that is when the journey really begins. They face off with some demons and monsters. They steal fruit from Persephone’s gardens, tell stories to a lonely nymph, and they have relationship problems. Once they get deep into Tartarus they have to face Nyx to save their friend.
I really enjoyed this book. Nico and Will are adorable and I think they are very relatable. I cannot wait to read more books about them!

I wasn't expecting this to be just a snippet, though I suppose I'm not exactly surprised that it was. That said, I really loved the snippet and am looking forward to getting my hands on the finished copy soon!

Ahhhhh having another book in the Percy Jackson universe was so great! Nico has deserved his own book for so long and I’m so happy he got it. The cameos of characters throughout made me so happy! Glad to have this story out there so we were able to understand Nico and Will better.
