I loved this book. Magnus is a big sweetheart. I love the banter between Blitzen and Hearthstone. Hearth's backstory made me want to cry. Alex was by far my favorite character!!!!!!

Ugh I love Magnus and his friends so much!! The plot in this book was so much more engaging than the first one if that’s possible! I didn’t even plan on starting the second but I read a couple pages and then I just could NOT STOP READING!!! It was so captivating! I love the diversity & having a gender fluid character was amazing! Alex was introduced in such a normalized way and it was honestly so beautiful to see! The majority of the main characters just accepted it and moved on! & the conversations surrounding Alex’s identity were rooted in curiosity and understanding, not hatred or judgement. It was refreshing & so well-done. And the ending!!! Excited for Magnus & Percy to meet up!! This was just such a solid second book & I’m ready to read the conclusion, even if I don’t wanna say bye to this wonderful bunch of characters!
I feel like everything I said about The Sword of Summer applies to this one as well: it was enjoyable, but formulaic (like most of Rick Riordan's books post Heroes of Olympus).
The only difference was that the characters frustrated me bit, which made me rate it slightly lower than the first book. It wasn't a big problem; just annoying enough to somewhat sour the experience. Didn't hinder me from immediately borrowing the finale from libby tho.

Ok, hear me out, but I like LOVED Alex from the first time I saw she/him. Also I like having a gender fluid person in the mix, let’s shake it up! Plus I love her sas and totally ship her/him and Magnus. I mean I think, when they, if they become a thing, I feel like they’d just radiate sas and sarcasm. I just love it. Can’t to finish up book three and see how there relation ship is going and if there’s a thing going on. Heard they kiss in that book and I’m So x1 million excited!!!!!!!
