A delightful reread full of childhood nostalgia for me.. Michael Scott's writing style can feel awkwardly paced, but the world building is enticing and magical.

Guess who loved this? I mean, I love the way Michael Scott added all this characters into the novel, real history characters. Characters you don't normally talk about. Characters that are latex down into forgiveness. He saved those characters. And all the beautiful things he tells along the book. And all of this in a teen novel! I mean, it's more than perfect. He teaches us all of this! And it's just so interesting. I really recommend this to anyone! Not only teenagers, but also young adults, adults and maybe even some kids with an open mind.

Admito que el libro es bueno. Pero no era el momento para leerlo. Debido a mis previas lecturas, esta historia me pareción simplemente más de lo mismo. Empezó muy bien, interesante. Pero una vez que comenzó a relacionarse con mitología y dando explicaciones estúpidas sobre hechos del pasado, se convirtió en lo mismo que Percy Jackson.
Más allá de qué libro se escribió primero, estoy segura que habría disfrutado más de la novela si la hubiese leído en otro momento.
