While I wish some things went into more detail, overall this was a complete conclusion to the story. I always find it wild the Rick’s books always take place over the span of a week or two. I think the representation in this book was done tastefully and didn’t come off as forced as these things do sometimes.

I wish we’d gotten more MagnusxAlex. Also call me a simp but I feel like locking Loki back up was mean. Overly harsh punishments never made sense to me.

This was a satisfying conclusion to the Magnus Chase trilogy. 
I wondered though if the book had sensitivity readers or something like that (I know it's been years) because at times some of Magnus' comments regarding Samirah fasting for Ramadan felt a bit disrespectful? But I haven't seen people talk about it so idk.
Overall, I love these characters and the whole point is found family and I love that!

rick has done it again… i’m getting post-series depression already and i just barely finished it. rick made me yearn to be apart of a world i can never be apart of, again. he, once again, made me love these characters with all my heart and made me want to be able to talk to them and give them hugs or just meet them at least once. it’s such a bittersweet feeling knowing that something as beautiful as this universe intricately woven into existence by rick exists only in our imaginations. i wish floor 19, jack, and just hotel valhalla as a whole have an unforgettable, exciting afterlife waiting for the day ragnarok begins. and of course may sam, amir, hearthstone, and blitzen live long, happy lives that hopefully reach their peaceful end before ragnarok. everyday till then, i’ll miss them always.
