A whirlwind of myth, action, and wry sarcasm, perfect for readers hungry for a new hit of that Percy Jackson-type magic.--Horn Book Norse myths are in right now, and Riordan has the magic touch.--Booklist Riordan offers a terrific cast that is effortlessly diverse--all of the allies stand as independent, well-constructed characters who each bring entirely different skills, histories, interests, and personalities to the group.--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books This is a highly entertaining, tongue-in-cheek romp. Magnus is a witty and likable teen who proves himself worthy of redemption. The novel expertly sets up for book two and will be adored by boys and girls alike.--Voice of Youth Advocates With an epic plot, engaging (and diverse) characters, and tons of wisecracking humor, Riordan's latest is a page-turner.--School Library JournalAbout The Author
