I received this book as a Christmas gift because by now everyone knows how much I absolutely loooove Rick Riordan's books. 
 This as I expected was reminiscent from Percy Jackson and the Lighting Thief, I mean of course, it's a simple equation: BOY WITH DADDY ISSUES + DAD is A GoD= NEW BOOK 
 But what I loved about this book is how sassy Magnus is. And how witty. And how he looks like Kurt Cobain because excuse you THE COVER LOOKS LIKE KURT FREAKING COBAIN AND ITS MENTIONED IN THE BOOK. Besides I liked the fact that Magnus was a young homeless, I hadn't read a YA/middle grade book about a homeless boy ever before and I thought this was a good representation. 
 Now taking in other characters.... 
 SAMIRAH : first of all I love how there is no romantic interest between she and Magnus. LIKE YES THAnK YOU, boys and girls can indeed be friends. I also love how she is Muslim and totally bad ass and how she is so sassy and selfless and ugh I love Sam guys. 
 Now my other two cinnamon rolls HEARTH AND BLITZZZ. Oh my god I love Hearth with all my heart, hehe. He is such a sweet character and he has physical disabilities and the novels shows how his own family are dicks to him because of it, and what can I say I love how this was included. BLITZ, my sweet smol bean. Blitz is awesome because he can kick some serious ass when talking about fashion, just awesome love him. 
 I also loved Valhalla, like how freaking cool A HOTEL. and Magnus floor mates were amazing. I just cant guys I looove this and I cant wait until the next one <3
