Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this extended look into Rick Riordan's latest book!

I'm very excited for this because I love anything from the Riordan mythoverse and Nico and Will especially deserve the spotlight. Their relationship in the other series was so nice to watch grow and develop. I also really like the direction this is going in with the two of them going to save Bob the Titan. He has always been an interesting character to me and I remember being so happy to see him in House of Hades.

On top of that, it looks like this book is going to dive into all the PTSD and mental issues Nico has been going through for years. The boy deserves it so much. Maybe it will be addressed that Camp Half-Blood really doesn't do much in terms of self-care or therapy. Whatever it is, I'll happily read it!

Super excited to read this book now! A great sampler to get you pumped to read the full thing! I’m so happy that we’re back in the Percy Jackson world and following Nico. I know this will be a great full length novel!

Reading this sample sent me back to my childhood and I am so incredibly excited for this book. I am ready to dive back into this universe.

It's difficult to gain a sense and feel of the book from these handful of chapters, but it sounds very promising and I'm looking forward to the release of the full book in May!

Thank you to NetGalley for the introductory chapters of this book. It is difficult to provide feedback for this title since it was only the first few chapters. I will acquire this book for my students and read it since it is a Rick Riordan work. I usually enjoy books with a mythological twist, but I was still waiting for this one to grab me, even after chapter three. These books usually throw the reader right into the action, but this one starts slower; hopefully, it will gain momentum as it progresses.

Riordan. Son of Hades. Son of Apollo as a love interest?! LGBTQIA+ rep from our favorite author with our favorite character from our collective favorite series.

I read it. My teen read it. Heck, even my partner read it. Perfect scores across the board.
I absolutely refuse to spoil this book because it is unbelievably good from start to finish and you need to experience that. It picks up right after a major event from the original series that features Nico and Will, giving us a sort of "where are they now" look into what happened with our main sweetie after everything went down. Seeing Nico's godly parentage coming into play to haunt him(?) is a wonderful tie in to that part of his life.

Anyway, go buy it. Pre-order. Get your copy and fall back in love with this series. Seriously, the only thing that would make this better is if Riordan decided to write an adult series with these characters after they've grown up.

This short teaser was great!

Nico is having having some crazy dreams lately. Nico is the son of Hades. Something within his dreams keeps telling him to listen.

Virtually alone in Camp Halfblood, Nico is trying to figure out what is going on.

Mark Oshiro does a great job with Rick Riordan’s work, but nothing can top the original series.

I can’t wait for the completed book to come out later this year so I can read it over and over again.

Thanks Disney Hyperion and Netgalley for this eARC reader sample. I was drawn in and I’m dying to see what is to come for Nico and Will! Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro are the perfect mashup to bring these characters to live! Goodreads review to come after I finish the whole book!

I love Nico di Angelo, Will Solace, Rick Riordan and his many stories etc so it should be no surprise that I leaped at the chance to download this sampler. And wow did it deliver!! I am so excited to see Nico and Will on a quest together! I enjoyed the cameos from favorite characters and previous series. This book is already so important and I am thrilled that it seems to be so inclusive, loving, and beautifully written. Seeing Nico di Angelo on page for the first time years ago was so special and important to me. I’m ecstatic that Will and Nico get a book all their own! I can’t wait to see how their adventure continues!! The Sun and the Star releases on May 2, 2023. Thank you to Rick Riordan, Mark Oshiro, Disney Hyperion, and Netgalley for a free sampler in exchange for honest feedback.

Thank you Disney and Hyperion for this preview!

I love the Percy Jackson world so much and it was so fun to dive back in. From this preview I think this will be more similar to Trials of Apollo, but I love Nico’s humor and am excited for more of this story

Thanks to Disney Hyperion for this extended chapter preview!

I've previously read one chapter and continuing to read more of this story has confirmed what I already knew: it's gonna hurt. Nico DiAngelo is such a complex character with a lot on his back, so it's gonna be an experience to read about this new adventure of his. I cannot wait for this book to come out!

Thank you so much, NetGalley, Disney Publishing Worldwide, Disney Hyperion, for this teaser!

I'm absolutely in love with everything in it! We are back in Camp Half-Blood, in this Solangelo novel, more than ready to face a quest and a profecy...more or less. I missed so much Nico and Will, Chiron and Mr D and this teaser made me only want this book more and more! I can't wait to read everything!

From the World of Percy Jackson: The Sun and the Star
by Rick Riordan; Mark Oshiro

I loved this preview. Cannot wait for the full book!

Was this review helpful?

I got a small preview of the book back in November and everything about it is perfect. Mark Oshiro adds the perfect touch to Rick Riordan's work. I cannot wait until the full book comes out, waiting another month feels too long. I have been following Percy Jackson since I was a kid and this is my all time favorite series, Nico is my favorite and having a book in his point of view is everything I have ever wanted. I love being able to read all the extra stuff that goes on in Nico's head and I can't wait to finally have him and Will be the main character,.

As usual with books from this universe, I'm an instant fan. Nico and Will have always been favorites of myself and many readers I know. This book that features them and their quest to check on Bob and I'm already hooked with these first 5 chapters. I'm definitely going to be counting down the days until I can finish this one.
