I enjoyed this installment of Magnus Chase for the simple fact there's a lot of great representation within the books. I'm always amazes how how well Rick Riordan incorporates different walks of life within his books for young readers. A lot of authors would shy away from some topics, thinking they were "too advanced" for young adults, but I've learned children are extremely good at adapting. For Riordan to go against the grain while educating the masses on classical studies says a lot about the author.

Another thing that I've found interesting is how Riordan is able to bring in all of the different pantheons into his different stories. With the Percy Jackson series, it's easy to bring in Greek and Roman because they're each other essentially, but being able to merge Norse with Greek is refreshing. I'm looking forward to this mash-up in the next book in the series.
