I didn't realise this was just a snippet! Nonetheless, it's fun to be back in this world I love so much and I'm excited to finish the book!

Follow along as two demigods endure the horrors of hell to recuse an old friend. This thrilling adventure is set within the exisiting world we know and love, following along secondary characters from the original story.

Yet here they are front and centre on their own epic adventure. Will they be able to overcome every obstacle and foe? I guess I’ll have to keep reading to find out.

We have read (and loved) all of the Percy Jackson books and sped right through this sampler and now cannot wait until the book comes out.

Thanks to Netgalley and Penguin Random House for access to this extract!

As a lifelong Percy Jackson fan, I was thrilled to read the first few chapters of The Sun and The Star. It felt so nostalgic to be diving back into this world, yet refreshing to see it through another character's eyes. I loved getting more insight into Nico's thoughts and feelings, and I was completely hooked from the first few pages - I'll definitely be picking the book up to finish it!

Rick Riordan Fan seit den DIeben im Olymp! Ich war so aufgeregt, als nicht nur ein neues Buch von ihm angekündigt wurde, sondern auch noch mit meinem absoluten Liebling als Hauptfigur! Die Umsetzung, abwechselnd in Nicos und Wills Perspektive zu schreiben, gefällt richtig gut. Dazu gibt es immer wieder Kapitel, die eigentlich im lezten Drittel des Buches spielen, wenn Will und Nico der Nymphe des Archeron von sich empfehlen. Anfangs etwas verwirrend, aber spätestens ab dem zweiten Mal klar. Dazu kommen dann Rückblenden, meistens wenn die beiden erzählen, oder auch Träume. Diese sind sehr cool gekennzeichnet, indem die entsprechenden Seiten ein leichtes Hintergrundlayout bekommen haben. Spitzen Idee meiner Meinung nach! Auch die Handlung an sich ist gut. Man sollte aber auf jeden Fall Abenteuer des Apollo komplett gelesen haben, sonst kommt man nicht mit. Das ist für Fans zwar toll, schließt aber leider die Interessierten Leser:innen aus, die nicht alle drei Vorgängerreihen gelesen haben.

Can’t wait to read the rest of the book!! Nico Di Angelo’s adventures is going to be one hell of a ride!

I had so much fun reading this book that I finished it in two days. I love the characters and especially the development they go through in the course of the book.

Another great book by Rick Riordan! It's the story I've wanted since seeing Nico with Will and it didn't disappoint.

This sample of five chapters really gave a taste of what was to come, and the book itself was action non-stop and some heart-aching moments. Exciting and filled with adventure!

My son and I read this sampler courtesy of Netgalley and I can say that it has confirmed that we need to go and buy a copy! My son was disappointed when we finished.
There is nothing quite like the skill of writing of Rick Riordan to hook us in. We have everyone of his books and this one will be joining them.

Is anyone surprised that this is amazing so far?

We all know Rick Riordan is bloody brilliant. And any opportunity to return to the world's he creates is a welcome one!

Really can't wait to get my hands on the full book here.

Thanks for the sneak peek!

Wonderful from Rick Riordan as always! I’ll definitely be picking up a full copy of the sun & the stars after reading this sample through NetGalley. A classic mix of his signature humour and engaging plot and I’m looking forward to seeing what happens in the rest of the book!!

I’m upset I left this so long to read however it does mean I can go straight out and buy the full book! Ive love the character of Nico since the Percy Jackson series so love that he’s getting his own books, i can’t wait to see the quest that he and Will are facing.

This was an exciting start to a very promising book. I am very much looking forward to this coming out in paperback!

Disappointed this was just a sampler, I didn't realise until it arrived in my kindle but I should have known it was too good to be true! Really enjoyed this anyway, I am a die-hard Percy Jackson world reader so will definitely be getting the whole book later.

Completely gutted this was just a sampler! When I got to the end and knew I couldn't carry on immediately I was devastated - I was completely hooked in just these first few chapters. It's been a long time since I've read a book in the Percy Jackson series but I was drawn right back in - there were a few references that I had to try and assimilate with old memories, so your experience would probably be better if you had better knowledge of the other books in the universe, but I made do! Really excited to read the rest!

Nico wasnine of my favourite characters and I was really excited to read about his and Will's relationship and his chance to have his own prophecy.

Unfortunately, this was only a sample, so I obviously had to go out and buy the hard cover (which frustrates me - that the paperback takes so long to be published...)

After only reading a small sample of this book, I am very excited to read the full novel both for my enjoyment and to recommend to my students. I always recommend the original Percy Jackson series of novels to my students when we teach a Greek Myths unit, so I am looking forward to having another amazing book centred around the myths to add to my class reading list

It's been a long time since I've read a Rick Riordan story, but this looks as good as ever.

Following the adventure of Nico and Will, Camp Half Blood and all things mythological.

This sample of the Sun and The Star made me want to buy this book for my son to read..I also would love yo know what happens.

An enticing snippet from a new installment in the Percy Jackson universe. While this book does not seem to be aimed towards me as the target demographic anymore, I know that this will be a perfect addition for more middle grade aged readers.
