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.

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!

I loved it. Very funny but still dark book. It was sad at times but still made me laugh out loud a lot. The sarcastic remarks by Magnus are to die for. Hearth and Blitz are absolutely adorable. Samirah is an amazing character as well. I really look forward to the next book so I can finally be introduced by Sam’s sister, Alex Fierro. And as a Norse person, I found it very funny to read about my own mythology, even though our names and language was mocked, (it was funny anyway). Already starting the new book. Thank you, Rick!
