Not entirely certain on how I feel about this installment, yet. The different perspectives was fun and interesting, and I took a liking to some of the new characters. Just...haven't settled on all the feelings at this point in time....more

The characters are darling, the action is engaging, the take on magic is fresh. I was actually moved to tears in the final SoM installment. While I wouldn't be against revisiting this world through shorts or what have you, I am also content enough with the manner in which we leave Londons. I very much look forward to reading Schwab's other pieces, because she's a gd poet with the English language. ...more

MCatGoA: tHoT had an easy flow, was a thoroughly smart and enjoyable read, contained a fantastic new character, and possessed a respectful approach to relatable and relevant issues (i.e. transgender, Islam, Atheism, etc).
EDIT: I also appreciate the separation between these Gods and the ones established in Disney/Marvel's Cinematic Universe. Since, you know, Disney owns Hyperion Books as well. Pop culture and Meta stuff, woo!
Side-note of import: I think Riordan handles the cross-overs extremely well, making them organic and downright fun. This is a world I have always wanted - where all the Gods are real, no matter their origin. I do wish, however, that we saw more of the Kanes/Egyptian Gods, in terms of acknowledging the deity novels are within the same universe. Because all things Egyptian for the win, thank you very much.

Second read-through: GDI, though, Jack is annoying as all get out. However, I am well aware that as a person over 30, said character element is meant more for the target age group and is probably less cringey/eye-rolly/sigh-inducing to others. ...more

Otherwise, this was very unique, fresh fun. Mind the pun, but stellar concept, and I very much look forward to reading the rest of the series. Being a Cancrian helps loving on the novel, too. :D
I'm hoping to get more attached to certain characters through the development as well, because at times I wasn't always moved by certain deaths, and that's never a good thing. And the events at the end were slightly underwhelming, but there's an excuse for it (to an extent)....more

A fantastic insight on Widow and Winter together, and Bucky overall. I teared up once or twice while reading this and I cannot wait for the rest to come out. I have to buy this arc....more
