While my enjoyment of the story is nowhere near how much I enjoyed the OG books and the place they hold in my heart, The Sun and The Star became a beloved book of mine because of the characters we followed in this book. I never knew I needed to read a book about Nico and Will's adventures in the underworld but I had so much fun and I did tear up at times. One time specifically in what I can describe as my favorite chapter in the entire book, Chapter 48. Chapter 48 was a chapter Nico needed badly, that little "family reunion"? Brought me to tears, I was so happy for him 🥹🥹 "Will had heard love described in so many dramatic, bizarre ways over the years, but no one had described it like this: It's like drifting down a river of pain and knowing you are safe. It's like holding a person in your arms and realizing they are an interlocking piece of a puzzle you hadn't know how to assemble. It's like staring into a dark and treacherous expanse, unsure of what await you but finding comfort in the fact that you won't have to face it alone. It was a son of Apollo falling for a son of Hades. It was this."

While browsing which audiobook I want to read/listen to next, I stumbled upon The Sweetest Oblivion, and I was like why not. I wanted to start this series and what better way to do it than to read it via audiobook. It was not that bad, I did not really connect with any of the characters, and to be fair I did not think I would've cause they are so different 😂 I was pissed off by Elena's behavior cause bro please grow up 🥲 She had such a childish behavior in the beginning of the book, I was ready to tear her apart. She kind of grew on me but well not enough. I felt the story had no real structure cause stuff were just happening after each other with no real plot 😮‍💨 Anyway, I guess I can say that Elena and Nico are perfect for each other because they do fit each other's dark parts. But their story is not my favorite. I guess I'll just have to wait and read the next books to see if they are worth it.
