Love. Love. Love. The found family is amazing. The sarcastic, witty humor is fabulous. The main characters pulled at my heartstrings and made me root for them from the first chapter. 
If I had one warning/critique, it would be that it does start off a little slow, but it makes sense, since Riordan is setting up a whole new world for us to play in. If you're feeling a little draggy in the bileginning, stick it out. I promise, it's soooo worth it!
Every series I read from Rick gets better and better!

This was a reread for me and I definitely enjoyed it a lot more the second time around. Mainly because I've finally read the Prose Eda and other Norse mythology related texts. So I had a lot of fun recognizing the different inspirations and aspects that Riordan picked for his retelling. Plus there was a lot I had forgotten since my first read through so it was very entertaining and wonderful to follow Magnus and his adventures. As well as rediscover this world again. Very happy to continue with my reread of this trilogy.
