This is similar to Percy Jackson, but also very different! I enjoyed the Norse mythology and the characters.

4.5

4,5 this was awesome and yeah it took me a while to read but I’ll blame it being a series for that. I thought I’d take a break before I read the second Magnus Chase book but I don’t think I’ll do that anymore because of the epilogue HOLY CRAP. 

Magnus is funny and a mama’s boy and I thought the reunion (well really first time meeting him) with his dad was really sweet.
