Everybody!

Just sit down and listen because my The Sun And The Star book just arrived yesterday and I just finished it so you guys are gonna hear me freaking out about this

So,

Nico and Will 😏

Oh, well, my dad bought TSATS in july (because portuguese version was just ready this month while for you guys it was up on may) and it arrived at thursday. And then! when I came home from school I just found it here at the table, my dad gladly smilling for me like "yo here's the book you were freaking out about last month" and I just freaked out some more.

I startes to read it and oh dam

I need to say I loved the concept

And the implications

"You cannot cut your past off, but it's a part of you"

And also "There's no light without darkness, just as there's no darkness without light"

I loved it because was also a golden key to nico's character arc

He dealt with really bad stuff in this book

And ofc character's bad stuff is good stuff for us

But really,

All his demons were shown for everybody to see in this book (like, literally, and i loved this part), and Will was at his side all time.

I loved this too: Nico and Will's relationship has no problems at all, but their understanding of each other was so limited. Will saw Nico's darkness as a bad thing, a thing he had to heal from. And Nico tried to flinch away everytime someone tried to help him, we already knew that.

And then their values were crushed off

Will learns about darkness; about the dephts of the Bad Things; about Nico; about how not everything related to the dark is bad

And Nico learns about himself; about his needs; about his motives; about his strenghts; about his heart and about his health

And really

I think it was a particulary Hot TakeTM that the Percy Jacksom fandom just shouted and pleaded "NICO DI ANGELO!" and rick riorsan gave us fucking nico di angelo

And also

(the quote may be not accurte here because again, my version is portuguese's, and im having to translate it here)

"Will let the anger power him and searched inside himself for darkness. He knew loneliness, like the nights he spent in the corner of a show house while his mother sing for the crowd. He had felt fear. He had felt envy. He was son of Apollo and, because of that, with all his feelings flowing, Will focused on his dad's power and did something he has never did in his entire life.

He gave his enemy an allergic rhinitis attack"

THIS HAD ME LAUGHING SO HARD MY BROTHER STOPED PLAYING ROBLOX AND ASKED ME "ARE U OKAY"

The first page also just MADE MY HEART MELT

And their stories for Gorgyra appearing beetwen one chapter and another just had me--

I LITERALLY READ THE FIRST PAGE ONCE AGAIN AFTER FINISHING THE LAST PAGE

here, have a photo

So yea, i loved it ❤
