The Sword of Summer

Oh gawd the Percy Jackson references.

I was getting ready to punch a wall. And there might've been a little too many jokes (sorry Rick Riordan but, hey, you'll always author-for-comic-relief). So yeah. That introduction with Annabeth basically blew me away. Literally I was just like, “Wait. Annabeth...surely he doesn't mean...? But apparently, he did mean the gray eyes, blonde hair and FREAKING ORANGE T-SHIRT he used to describe Annabeth.

And then she freaking offered Magnus a safe place to go to!

AND HE DIDN'T FREAKING GO TO CAMP HALF-BLOOD.

The teasing...is just cruel. TT^TT
THERE WAS EVEN A PEN SWORD REFERENCE. THESE ALLUSIONS THOUGH. WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME RICK RIORDAN?! Why do you do this...TO US?! I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
And that bet between Annabeth and Magnus...dang it but at least give me an image of Magnus's face. I know how it ends, courtesy of that lovely chapter title. BUT STILL. THE REACTION IS WHAT I LIVE FOR.
Anyways, this book...it was pretty darn cool. Magnus didn't do anything too stupid, like listen to Loki (the freaking bad guy of Norse mythology) or Hel (the daughter of the freaking bad guy of Norse mythology). He also successfully negotiated (to put it mildly) with Ran, which was pretty darn freaking awesome. So yeah. I want more. But these Greek-and-Norse crossover teasers have got to stop. Or at least bring Percy in and let me squeal like the fangirl I am. I don't care if this raises my blood pressure; these teasers are already doing that. Dang it I miss Percy.
