Solar power can also be collected and distributed without machinery or electronics. For example, roofs can be covered with vegetation or painted white to decrease the amount of heat absorbed into the building, thereby decreasing the amount of electricity needed for air conditioning. This is solar architecture. As a queer reader who has been an avid pjo fan for years, this part of The Sun and The Star warmed my heart. This book is open to other sexualities and genders and it makes me so happy. Nico and Will openly talk about their sexualities and even their coming out stories. The fact that Nico became a role model for other members of Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter is fitting. This may or may not have been intentional, but I think it’s a little nod to what Nico Di Angelo means to his fans. I’ve heard from other pjo fans of how Nico being gay helped them come to terms with their own sexuality. So Nico Di Angelo, you’re not just an important person to me, but also to so many young queer readers who you gave courage and strength to.

But they want to keep trying to make it work. Their relationship is so much more complex. We only get a glimpse of what they’re like in The Trials of Apollo, so I was thrilled to see their development. Will is also an amazing character. We get to learn more about him and he’s such a sunshiny sweetheart. He cares about his boyfriend, friends, and family a lot. And of course, Nico. I’m proud of him for growing up. He finally learns to embrace that darkness, the light, all his feelings (both positive and negative). He finally learns to cope in a healthy way. He finally accepts that he can be happy. Nyx had potential - I liked the idea of her wanting Nico to bathe in darkness and be darkness and seeing herself as a mother figure to him but again.... children. THEIR children. Sunspots, solar flares, and solar prominences take form in the photosphere, although they are the result of processes and disruptions in other layers of the sun. The frequency of a wave represents how many times the wave repeats itself in a certain unit of time. Waves with very short wavelengths repeat themselves several times in a given unit of time, so they are high-frequency. In contrast, low-frequency waves have much longer wavelengths. Paolo. Malcolm Pace. Jake Mason. And it's not just in Camp Half-Blood! Piper is just as thankful for you as the others. None of them would have been able to be out if you hadn't gone first."just watched my favorite character get turned into a cheap, butchered caricature of himself for the sake of “queer rep” TOW: Top of the week: As in, “We will connect at the top of the week.” Actual meaning: “We will talk by next Thursday afternoon.” the characters are flat and inconsistent and the plot is slow and riddled with holes; the pacing is horrible and the structure is all over the place. it’s incohesive and poorly written. this shouldn’t have made it past the editors. i’m not “being miserable” or trying to deny the importance of seeing queer relationships in media. i’m saying this book is simply not good and it’s important to point out why lest all queer rep becomes garbage that gets away with being published for the sole reason that it boasts a queer protagonist. good night. it’s my turn for a dip in the lethe. Oh and where were Reyna and Hazel???? Why were they barely even mentioned???? They were the closest people to Nico in HoO!

EOW: End of week. As in, “I will submit by end of week.” Actual meaning: “You will get this 4AM on Saturday morning.” Astrophysicists debate whether Earth’s orbit would expand beyond the sun’s reach, or if our planet would be engulfed by the sun as well. Oh, absolutely. Mark had a lot of fun concocting all sorts of juicy updates for other characters, which I fully endorse! For details, you have to wait and read the book.Any and all foundation Nico and Will had in their relationship is gone. Any relationship Nico had with other characters, especially Hazel, is gone. Any real sense of either of their characters are gone - Will, unfortunately, was given the fandom created personality that he's controlling over Nico's powers, not letting him shadow travel them around with ease. Even though there's a literal scene in one of the ToA books where we see Nico shadow traveling during Capture the Flag and Will is there to catch him when he passes out of exhaustion and bring him out of harm's way with a smile. The solar atmosphere is the hottest region of the sun. It is made up of the chromosphere, the corona, and a transition zone called the solar transition region that connects the two.
