Am I the only one who thinks TSATS ruined Tartarus? [hoo]

In HOO, Tartarus is hell. No mortal before Nico ever made it there and back alive. The doors of death were the only way out. Nico became severely malnourished (granted, the jar didn’t help with that), Percy and Annabeth almost died repeatedly.

In TSATS, it feels more like just another quest (that they chose to go on).

I don’t know. I just feel like TSATS made it seem less like actual-Greek-hell-there’s-a-reason-we-don’t-go-here-ever and more like just another part of the underworld.
