This might be my favorite of the series! I definitely think there's a hint in there at the end that this series could continue, and I totally think that's something Riordan would do. Plus, getting to see characters cross series is always fun. I don't know why I didn't make the Chase connection before starting this series, but I totally get it now.

Riordan has a knack for writing great groups of characters, and in such an entertaining way. His books easily hook you in, and they are quite expansive now. And I can officially say I am caught up on all of his books!

4.0

I think this book is closer to 3.5 stars for me. It was a good story and a cute ending, but left me wanting more story and development for Magnus, Blitz, Hearth, Sam, and Alex; especially the relationship between Alex and Magnus. I could have done without TJ, Mack, and Halfborn’s stories to give the original five a better story and more character development. The climax with Loki also was just meh for me, but it ended up being a cute story about friendship. Maybe this needed more than three books. Also, did Sam actually leave the Valkyrie? It was never really answered.

This book is probably my favorite in the series. Sam and Alex are still my favorite characters. T.J. Is also pretty cool.
