If you're a fan of Rick Riordan in general, you'll probably be a fan of this! Magnus is such a fun narrator, with sass almost equal to Percy's sass. Fans of the Percy Jackson series will definitely love the connections made between the two series, and some of th elittle digs towards Percy Jackson himself (the pen as a sword comment was gold).

Honestly, pretty much everything I know about Norse mythology comes from Marvel (I know, I know). So getting to see more of Norse mythology in this book was fun, especially in the ways that Riordan does it. Do his books start to read similarly after a time? Yes, but I think that's what keeps bringing kids back to his writng. They know what to expect, and usually that expectation is a good time.

If you like these mythology themed middle grade fantasy books, then you'll definitely want to keep this one on your radar!
