I loved it. Very funny but still dark book. It was sad at times but still made me laugh out loud a lot. The sarcastic remarks by Magnus are to die for. Hearth and Blitz are absolutely adorable. Samirah is an amazing character as well. I really look forward to the next book so I can finally be introduced by Sam’s sister, Alex Fierro. And as a Norse person, I found it very funny to read about my own mythology, even though our names and language was mocked, (it was funny anyway). Already starting the new book. Thank you, Rick!
