I also find the humor amusing, it makes the story that much more light hearted.

93% (view spoiler)[ Wow, I did not see that coming. X is Odin! I also loved the peace of Frey, that was pretty cool. (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

Finished (view spoiler)[ I actually feel sorry for Randolf. All he wants is his family. I hope he somehow gets them and doesn't have to betray everything as well. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Same, I didn't think they were a couple. (hide spoiler)]

[Cinthia]

48% End of ch. 32: How many kids does Loki have? A serpent? (view spoiler)[ What is a troth? I am enjoying the little jabs, Low-Key, Loki, that was funny. But I am not liking all this long names, I can't really keep up with them. I like the homeless friends, they were actually elves and dwarves, I wanna know who they are working for and why Magnus has to be kept safe? His dad? I hope not Sert! or whatever his name is.

81% End of Ch. 55: Really a hot coal? Go long? (view spoiler)[ I like that Sam is willing to help Guinella, I get it why she is mad and can't trust Sam, the love of her life fooled her and tricked her, and he was Loki's son, so it stands to reason that Sam would probably do the same. I don't know how to feel that they ate Odis the goat. I am glad Blitzen won the skill challenge and pardoned Jr. but it sucks that it's not over. I love Jack the sword, it was funny how he wanted his name to be Magnus, or Sam, ah sword. I don't like Thor. (hide spoiler)]

[Cinthia]

"Blades before babes" OMG That was so funny.... I love Jack!

[Cinthia]

Finished... (view spoiler)[ I cannot believe Loki! What does Randolph have that Loki wants so bad? I am glad that Magnus was able to defeat the wolf and Surt, even though he didn't kill them, he was able to stop them. I was sad that Guinilla died. I was also shocked that the the Half-Troll was Odin! that was good and it was funny, he gave the heroes lots of good things. (hide spoiler)]

Right??? I was shocked that he was amongst them all that time. I was glad he helped a lot and granted all those rewards.

I felt bad too. (view spoiler)[ What did he do or have for Loki to be focused on him and threaten his family. I am curious what Annabeth's story is and how hers is crazier than Magnus. (hide spoiler)]

[Kay-Mika]

Chapter 29
(view spoiler)[ What is Rick Riordan's problem with doves? (hide spoiler)]

[Kay-Mika]

Chapter 65
(view spoiler)[ Gunilla is dead. I don't like her, but she didn't deserve to die (hide spoiler)]

[Kay-Mika]

Chapter 70
(view spoiler)[ Wow, Odin is a little self-possessed. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I feel like she was loyal to a fault and didn't think things through, like the potential of being wrong. She just wanted action and repercussions for people she thought were wrong. I think she gets that from Thor though. Like how the Half-Bloods get traits from their parents. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I like to think I'm more of a Frey. I like things peaceful. He really comes off as a godly hippie. lol. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Right! I felt so sad for her, but she knew what she was doing. I think she would be proud that she died fighting Surt though. Like she would want a noble death, even if she'd learned she was wrong just before. She realized her mistake and fought with them. (hide spoiler)]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ I really loved the representation in this book more than anything else. I even learned a couple signs. The ending with X being Odin threw me. I'd forgotten that from the first time I read this a couple years ago. Sam reminds me so much of Annabeth and I'm glad she and Magnus are friends now. I can't wait to see what kinds of missions she goes on. (hide spoiler)]
