I’m going to be quick about this because I really don’t have the time with my exams going on this weekend.
This was like a weird, and rather failed, Percy Jackson story – with Norse mythology, though (and no, Magnus Chase doesn’t count as something like that because that’s actually enjoyable). We get the child with the divine parents, who at first doesn’t know his heritage, and then he tries to help and save said parents. Honestly, it would have been much better, but Stian ruined it all by himself. I seriously have seen only a handful of main characters like him – and I hope they remain as many as that, really.
So, no more Stian for me, thank you very much – and no Dahlia, too, because she was even worse than him at times… ***I was given an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
