A review by hannahhbic
The Hammer of Thor by Rick Riordan

4.0

I can't believe I'm giving this one four stars after giving the previous book two, but here we are. Magnus still sounds too much like Percy, but this was a vast improvement overall from the prior novel. Magnus can finally speak ASL fluently! Alex as a whole is a fantastic and kickass character and I hope to see more of her/him in the future. I'm very excited that the kids reading this book get to see a canon genderfluid character in a novel that isn't about gender. Sam, as usual, still deserves to be the main character, but I would settle for she and Alex together as protagonists. Sorry Magnus, it's not you; it's that you're just not nearly as interesting as your friends. I hate to admit this, but I'm definitely looking forward to book three now.
