4. It did an excellent job wrapping up character arcs and fleshing out relationships between the whole crew. In particular the characters Hearthstone and Mallory respectively really shined here.

I really love this series and I have this book on my bookshelf at home. I really like the characters and I think this book is really good at breaking off from the normal teen adventure and romance stereotypes to create a wonderful story. My favorite character is Alex and I think that she/he add a lot to the story. (Sorry if I phrased the pronouns wrong). I also love the fact that Sam is a strong independent Muslim girl and I hope that people won’t stereotype others just because of what the media says about those who are part of the Muslim culture and religion. For those of you who have said so on some other reviews, why would you say praising Allah is wrong? It’s part of her religion and is something she believes in. I may not be Muslim myself but don’t say someone practicing their religion is wrong. Another great thing about this book is that the narrator (Magnus) does not do everything on his own and is not the only one taking credit for the achievements in the book. This book is amazing and if you haven’t read the first two, you definitely should! I don’t think this book is political as someone’s religion or sexuality is not part of politics, but part of their own identity. Also, you should really check out Rick Riorden’s other book series like Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus, or even Trials of Apollo if you have not already. I’m in high school and I still consider them to be my favorite books. Thanks for reading my review! I really hope you read this book, it will open you up to a whole new world! I really wish he’d make another one.

This is amazing. I’m 13 year old bi-gender person and these books made me feel like I belong somewhere. I don’t believe all of the bad reviews. Like what’s political about different cultures mixed into one? Or having a bi-gender person (like Alex) be in a book?

This was a suspense creating masterpiece that properly ended the series. One of the best books I’ve ever read. In this story Magnus has to get Kvasirs mead, beat Loki I’m a fluting, and delay Ragnarok even longer. You should definitely read this book and recommend it too friends. Rick Riordan writes really good books, making himself worthy of the title “The storyteller of the Gods.”

Don’t listen to the bad reviews! These are amazing books, I LOVE THEM SO MUCH! I am so happy that I have grown up in a environment that excepts other people no matter what, Rick I LOVE your books!

This is definitely my most favorite book series of all time. All the characters are all very interesting and unique and the diversity is mind-blowing! There are all sorts of different races, religions, orientations, and abilities and all of them are done so respectfully without the use of stereotypes or assumptions. Poorly known identities are politely explained by the characters themselves, ensuring no stereotypes persist. It’s amazing and I’ve never seen anything like it!

I'm ten years old and I love all the Magnus Chase books! They have adventures, saving the world, traveling, mythology, and more! I would give all the books by Rick Riordan 100 stars if I could!

I found this book to be extremely political. Extreme leftist politically correct ideology with a Norse mythology based story mixed in for spice. Fundamentally this is fine, but I hate stories that force feed some ideology instead of just unraveling naturally. Rick Riordan (sadly) has run out of things to say, and is now relying on a political ideology for people to like his books. Between the gender fluid character to the random homosexual references, to the extremely weak male protagonist that doesn’t really do anything; all of this together comes together for a story that has no substance and no moral virtue. In trying to garner and bestow values, Riordan has forsaken what made his stories good in the first place: heart.
