is percy jackson in the sword of summer
The Sword of Summer has been praised especially as an excellent example of a Riordan novel. Kirkus Reviews, for example, wrote, ``First there were the Greek gods, then the Egyptian gods, then the Roman gods--now Riordan takes on the Norse gods... A fast-paced, eventful, and largely successful pivot.'' More specific aspects of the novel have also been noted by critics. Author Cassandra Clare's review, praised ``Riordan's effervescent world-building'', in addition to the novel's humor and breakneck plot. Author Michael Grant lauded the novel as ``a propulsive, kinetic, witty rebooting of Norse mythology with all the charm of the Percy Jackson novels.'' KidsReads's review praised the characters and their development, saying ``Magnus Chase feels fresh and exciting'' even with its oft-used mythological themes. Reviewers such as Publishers Weekly have praised the book, saying, ``Riordan plays much of the material for laughs...and brings the Norse gods into the 21st century... The sensibility is right in line with the Percy Jackson novels, and the audience will be just as large.''
