Sometimes I go too hard too long in adult fantasy and these “easier books” always perk me up. While there’s not no hardship in them it’s easier to digest. I didn’t know much about Norse mythology prior to this book so I’m unsure how accurate it is but I sure enjoyed it. A fun read

It took me a while to finish, but I absolutely LOVE this book. It was recommended to me by a friend and I am so glad they recommended it. I was honestly very surprised by

Magnus dying only a few chapters in

in the best way possible, it was not the story I was expecting. I never got into Percy Jackson, but I’ve fallen in love with these characters and this story. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.  I do wish wolves weren’t portrayed as so evil though, as they really aren’t monsters in real life.

c'était sympa, typique Rick Riordan, mais j'ai lu carrément mieux de lui.
les personnages secondaires sont + intéressants que Magnus ; meme s'il n'est pas si affreux, ça reste un mec cishet blanc chiant. 
y a des passages très drôles par contre.
et j'ai bien aimé découvrir la mythologie nordique.

Love. Love. Love. The found family is amazing. The sarcastic, witty humor is fabulous. The main characters pulled at my heartstrings and made me root for them from the first chapter. 
If I had one warning/critique, it would be that it does start off a little slow, but it makes sense, since Riordan is setting up a whole new world for us to play in. If you're feeling a little draggy in the bileginning, stick it out. I promise, it's soooo worth it!
Every series I read from Rick gets better and better!
