What a fun ride, I am not as well versed in Norse Mythology so this was educational, I certainly have a lot more to research now. Magnus is an amazing protagonist and the supporting cast are just as interesting. Can’t wait to see where this goes.

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.
