2023 re-read: tho I still love it in 2nd read, but somehow it didn't feel like "complete" 5 stars. not the way I love every pages. I still laughed a lot, it's still a 5, but... maybe I wasn't in the full on Magnus Chase mode? maybe it never feel like Camp Half-blood? idk

"You just got here."

Sam: Awkward.
Alex: Awkward, awkward.

Sam: Awkward.
Alex: Awkward, awkward.

"I think Rick's description is the only description I read word by word! I always read the 1st line of description to see what the premise is (a castle, a classroom, a luxury saloon, etc) & then Imagine the details myself. but Riordan's descriptions are unique & funny! sometimes I read it several times & laugh😂"
