I think this book is closer to 3.5 stars for me. It was a good story and a cute ending, but left me wanting more story and development for Magnus, Blitz, Hearth, Sam, and Alex; especially the relationship between Alex and Magnus. I could have done without TJ, Mack, and Halfborn’s stories to give the original five a better story and more character development. The climax with Loki also was just meh for me, but it ended up being a cute story about friendship. Maybe this needed more than three books. Also, did Sam actually leave the Valkyrie? It was never really answered.
Graphic: Death and Violence
Moderate: Ableism and Transphobia
Minor: Death of parent
