i guess i’ll start with boo? 

nico’s feelings for will came out of literally nowhere in the last few chapters of the last book of the series. and i know they don’t technically get together in that book, but the fact that nico comes out to percy as what basically comes down to a joke (”you’re cute but you’re not my type”) is just so disrespectful to lgbt readers? i wanted actual closure. instead, nico gets a crush on a random side character who has only appeared a handful of times throughout the series. we don’t know anything about will solace in hoo besides the fact that he’s a son of apollo and he’s a healer.

the fact that he’s a healer? and nico is a sad gay kid? bad shit!! no thanks!! 

i read the first book of the trials of apollo, hoping for better (i’m not sure if i’ll read the rest of the series BECAUSE I WAS SO LET DOWN but) 

nico in toa is basically unrecognizable. he’s a completely different character. 

i know he’s “happy” now but the way it’s written leaves such a bad taste in my mouth. as i remember feeling, it’s as if nico’s struggles never happened at all

honestly will is just?? an asshole to nico?? like he’s a completely different character when he isn’t around nico (the same for nico, actually). it’s astounding how badly written it is

also, my petty reasons:
