This is only my second read in the "Riordan Presents Universe" but I loved meeting all of these characters. The connections between all of the characters, in every story, were amazing and fun. These lighthearted short stories were very well written. For most of these authors, these are my first reads from them, and I'll definitely follow this up by reading more. I also enjoyed Rick's short story. It's fun to read something a little more seriously written than most of his previous works. I'm looking forward to more of it.

I would've enjoyed it more (and the whole RR Presents imprint) if the characters who are supposed to be Spanish native speakers (like me) didn't actually speak the language in such a terrible way. It hurts, and there are way too many examples of it in this anthology.

That being said, I really liked Aru Shah's and Gum Baby's Big Stuffie Adventure, and that story about Finn mac Cumall looks like a promising new series (if RR chooses to do it)
