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.
