The only downside for me was the heavy focus on Sam’s religion. I don’t get how she can still be a muslim when she has genuine proof of other gods being real. That by itself contradicts what islam is based on, that their god is the only god, all powerful. Sam is sort of hypocritical in my opinion, I put up with her in the first book, but in this one, she got on my nerves. Despite being a literal valkyrie, I cannot help but feel she looks down on the Norse pantheon, compared to the god she has learned to believe in. If not for that much focus on that aspect, it would have been an easy 5 star book.

Anyway, loved the introduction of Alex Fierro, in my opinion she/he’s exactly how a child of Loki should be. Loved her/his personality so much. I hope I can read more about her/him in the next book, rather than Sam.

It's always fun when authors take one of their series and connect it to the other. Especially if you'd read the author's other books! This was another fun adventure from Rick Riordan, full of mythology, good friends, and a bunch of gods making the wrong choices. Of course, the stakes have been risen for the next book, so I can't wait to see how Magnus's adventures play out!

This book was fine. This still isn't my favorite series. I adore Sam and Alex.
