It took me a while to finish, but I absolutely LOVE this book. It was recommended to me by a friend and I am so glad they recommended it. I was honestly very surprised by

Magnus dying only a few chapters in

in the best way possible, it was not the story I was expecting. I never got into Percy Jackson, but I’ve fallen in love with these characters and this story. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.  I do wish wolves weren’t portrayed as so evil though, as they really aren’t monsters in real life.

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.

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!
