I finally felt I could jump straight into a Rick Riordan book and just love it, without pushing through just waiting for later books. I suddenly understood why people rav <a href="https://www.cars.com/" rel="nofollow">car</a>e about Rick Riordan and his writing and this book has made me determined to devour everything else he writes. I read this book all the way back in July last year, but never managed to get my review together. It's time to change that. I want to take an opportunity to gush about his witty, memorable characters and action-packed, fast paced writing.<br />world poetryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964049037725692059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-61382524706536282682016-10-05T04:41:04.422+01:002016-10-05T04:41:04.422+01:00i have to say That I like PJ more just because of ...i have to say That I like PJ more just because of Nico but Magnus chase was amazing too(Although just a tip. do not read the hidden oracle and have really low expectations for the lost hero, mark of Athena, and Blood of Olympus.)Andie Ryderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05894495083511105591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-45144618514026364712016-01-23T16:45:56.519+00:002016-01-23T16:45:56.519+00:00Oh yea, Riordan is an awesome write!

I can't wait for you to get all the way through PJ and onto HoO; it definitely gets more diverse and less juvinile as the characters age.<br />Magnus Chase is perhaps my favourite of Riordan's characters. He's so good at writing sarcasm and sass. But Magnus really takes the cake on both accounts. He is my soul mate. :)BrittanyLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10645210938042967995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-80645538366552011482016-01-17T10:26:59.665+00:002016-01-17T10:26:59.665+00:00I LOVE RICK RIORDAN!

I never reread series EVER, but I actually reread all the Percy Jackson books a couple of months ago and I actually loved them more than I did the first time. I have Magnus Chase on my bookshelf (haha not actually <em>him</em>, that would be slightly odd XD) and I NEED to read it ASAP!Kyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08208972644763001755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-86674856385174049802016-01-16T13:30:48.814+00:002016-01-16T13:30:48.814+00:00Very nice review!

While Percy was an adorkable stupid adorable thing. :') I love them both, but differently. hehe. And I think the Heroes of Olympus series is a lot better than the MG Percy series. If that helps. ;D The action gets more intense and the characters are a bit more mature and I liiiiike. AHEM.<br />But my favourite part of Magnus Chase had to have been those chapter titles.

I have finished the original Percy Jackson series and loved it :D But I have yet to actually read the Heroes of Olympus series and that is something that I need to do myself as well :P But I love the sound of this one. I was a little unsure because I don't know much about Norse mythology if anything, but it looks like I can learn as I read this. Also, when I read I usually skip chapter titles. After going through two Percy Jackson books like that, I quickly learned that Rick Riordan's chapter titles are humorous and add to the story. I remind myself not to skip them when I read his works now ^^Olivia's Catastrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706765857201768908noreply@blogger.com
