A review by kenjikishimotomotto
The Hammer of Thor by Rick Riordan
5.0
I knew perfectly well that this would be a quick read since Alex Fierro's character appeared.
Seriously, the nineteenth floor crew makes my heart melt. T.J, Mallory, Halfborn. All these characters that, although, they don't appear much in the story, their appearances are the best (Chapter fifty-two *winks*). It is interesting how each character has a different personality and they take things with a different humor based on the year and time in which they died and were taken to Valhalla. While some have been there for decades, others have been there for centuries. And that influences every time they try to agree on something.
Magnus, Sam, and Alex fighting scenes on those chapters with Loki??? AHHHH.
I will never shut up about Hearth and Blitzen's bond. All those chapters where Blitzen is stone and Hearth protects him as if he were something precious to him (Spoiler: he is) even if it required Hearth to return to where he developed a trauma of rejection, to go back to the place where he grew up and where deafness was considered an anomaly, to face the only person who was the solution to bring back Blitzen: deal with his dad and his past. (I definitely didn't cry when Blitzen returned to normal, I would consider the entire chapter my Roman empire).
I don't stop getting excited every time events from past books are mentioned as well as bringing back characters to help in the next and final part. (Annabeth and Percy always making epic appearances when needed).
ANNABETH WEARING A CAMP JUPITER SHIRT?!?!?!? YES.
