I really enjoyed the first book and plan to finish the series. In fact, I actually like Magnus Chase more than Percy Jackson! I feel like Riordan really grew as a writer and had a lot more fun with the cast of characters, world building, and plot. This book is definitely more unhinged than the Percy Jackson books, but I really liked it!
