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!

This is one of my favorite books.
I just love it so much.
I love the diversity of the charactersw and the humor as well.
The names of chapters are absolutely amazing {I psychoanalyze a goat or Gunilla gets blowtorched and its not funny, ok its a little bit funny or Phil the potato meets his doom or dont be a no-bro, bro or How to kill giants politely}
All the side characters are wonderful and I wish I knew more about them {which is how you are supposecd to do it}.
I find so much magic in this gorgeous world and I hope other people get to enjoy it as well.
I could never get sick of this story, the story of a homeless kid learning how to operate in a world he thought he understood, but finds that he didn’t. Its the story of learning and perhaps even sacrificing some things along the way.
