TSAT will always be hilarious to me. They really gave Will a whole book in order to let us see him develop as a character only to make him absolute dead weight and do nothing but drag Nico down and make Nico risk his own life in Tartarus trying to pick up his slack. All that book did was solidify my dislike of Will
This!
I didn’t actually read TSAT for this, I just read the leaked chapters and some summaries from people that actually read the book.
Yeah, Nico ending up with someone like Will has got to be the western equivalent of the rushed epilogue in a shonen manga where the protagonist ends up with a side character who’ve they’ve never shown feelings towards.
And making the whole plot of the book about Nico going back to Tartarus..? That’s supposed to be the worst of the worst, they easily could’ve gone anywhere else!
When Percy and Annabeth got stuck in Tartarus that worked, because it was a new concept and it actually played on the ‘risking our lives’ aspect with them protecting each other.
Also, why the hell did Nico refer to Percy and Annabeth’s relationship by their actual ship name? That’s weird…
True, Will sucks, I’ve disliked him since I found the first Trials Of Apollo book in my library.
