It was cute! The main characters are around 16 years old and over, but it read more like a middle grade: friends, a quest and adventures.

Magnus Chase is full of humor but has his moments of heroism, his little gang of friends are also interesting and of course all the nordic mythology is great^^

The book definitely resembles the other series, with the mission to achieve something by the end of the book, the meddling of gods (in a good or bad way), ennemies, monsters, meeting friends, the big battle at the end.. but it was an enjoyable ride!
