things you liked+didn't like about tsats?

haven't read it in a hot minute but my recollections follow thus

liked

that scene with bianca in the lotus hotel.... augugahug. i miss bianca. i wanna see more of her. please

dionysus being a chill guy. and he's eating popcorn. he deserves it

disliked

its so romance-focused.. which i guess is The Point of that book but. not what i was hoping for, not what i was looking for..

it doesn't fit my taste which is not a fair standard for anything Remotely unbiased but this post is biased so i shall continue. there were a number of tropes that i've seen before and poignantly dislike. the cutesy romancey bits felt a little dull to me

that one bit about jasons arms

#tsats spoilers #im sorry guys i dont understand well...#book in all may just not be for me #will and nico parts especially #i jsut. dont like the feeling of. auaug. and the. and the aftermath of nightmare augahaag. and . the whole premise of some lady saying #''oh look at you you are cute and homosexual u should tell me ur relationship drama in excruciating detail!'' i don't really. enjoy that.#my ideal romance is just really good friends and i didnt feel that #like none of that patroclus book 13 ish when everyone is dying and hes at nestors tent saying ''dude. you think i havent tried #convincing achilles. really. you think hes bad try being at his side for years he is the worst guy i know in the guy department''#and its like. uninteresting #not even alcibiades and socrates at the end of plato's symposium #where alcibiades on the fourth rizzing attempt says #''listen man. i want you more than i want anyone else. cause i believe you're my only chance of becoming a good person"#and socrates roasts his ass and then they cuddle and alcibiades wakes up completely lain with but not ''lain with'' and mopes #or like lucius apuleius madaurensis in his autobiography/self insert novel using kitchen-themed pickup lines on photis #i. i dunno. some dude in camo shorts joking that his bf will never be happy doesn't spark much besides annoyance #and i do not want i do not want a homosexual love triangle please i just want . friends. please.#i always enjoyed the subtle diversion of heteronormativity or like comphet but now its homonormativity and it just feels like comphet #but more fetishized #?
